Beginning Monday July 30th, as part of our scheduled maintenance program, Larimer County Road and Bridge Department will be performing chip seal operations on CR 52E (Rist Canyon Road) from Stratton Park east to CR 27E. We expect to complete the chip seal application no later than Wednesday, August 1st followed by a “fog seal” during the night of Thursday, August, 2nd or Friday, August 3rd (weather permitting). We are working to complete this work quickly in order to minimize our impact within the High Park Fire burn/recovery area, while ensuring the road(s) in this area continue to be maintained as necessary.
Informational signs will be posted on affected roads detailing exact locations and time frames. Please call our chip seal project line at 498-5666 or visit our web page (http://www.larimer.org/roads/road_closures.cfm) for more information or updated schedules.
 
The Chip Seal Program consists of pothole patching, crack-filling, pre-sweeping, chip seal, post-sweeping, fog sealing and re-striping as necessary. The chip seal will receive a fog seal at night between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. after the post chip seal sweeping has been completed. Traffic will be limited to one lane in these areas, expect delays of 10-15 minutes. Motorists, bike riders and pedestrians may wish to choose alternate routes until the post chip seal sweeping is completed, usually no later than 72 hours after chip application. We encourage all traffic to drive slowly through the work zones and obey the posted speed limit to prevent materials that are being applied to the road from getting on vehicles or breaking windshields.
 
During the week of July 30th, we will be working in the following areas:
