Drivers in Grand Junction should plan for several ongoing road closures, detours, and overnight construction projects during the week of July 27.

Here’s what drivers should know before heading out this week.
Crosby Avenue remains closed between West Main Street and American Way.
Business and local traffic access will be maintained throughout the closure.
Drivers who do not need to access businesses or properties within the construction area should use an alternate route.
Construction continues to affect several roads around the Four Canyons Parkway project.
Current restrictions include:
Drivers traveling through this growing area of north Grand Junction should allow extra time and watch for changing traffic patterns.
The D 1/2 Road Capacity Improvements Project continues to affect travel in southeast Grand Junction.
D 1/2 Road is closed between 29 Road and 30 Road, although local traffic access will be maintained.
Access between San Juan Street and D 1/2 Road is also closed at the intersection.
Drivers trying to reach San Juan Street should use the posted detour via 29 1/2 Road from D Road.
A Colorado Department of Transportation project along the I-70 Business Loop will bring lane reductions and intermittent closures to downtown Grand Junction.
Drivers should expect:
Business and residential access will remain open, along with parking and alley access.
Drivers should expect slower traffic through the downtown corridor and watch for construction crews and changing lane configurations.
Drivers traveling between Grand Junction and the Redlands should prepare for overnight construction on Colorado Highway 340 between Redlands Parkway and Grand Avenue.
Lane closures will affect both eastbound and westbound traffic across the Highway 340 bridge.
Crews are scheduled to work Monday through Friday from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Motorists traveling through the area overnight should allow additional time and expect possible delays.
Construction continues at the 23 Road and Broadway roundabout.
Alcove Drive is closed at 23 Road and will remain closed for the duration of the project.
Drivers can use Vista Grande Road or Columbine Drive as alternate routes to reach 23 Road.
Colorado Highway 340 will remain open to two-way traffic, with a 35 mph speed limit through the work zone.
Sidewalk access will remain available, but pedestrians should stay outside active construction areas.
The most significant impacts for the week of July 27 are concentrated around 25 Road and Four Canyons Parkway, D 1/2 Road, downtown Ute and Pitkin avenues, and Highway 340.
Drivers should plan extra travel time, follow posted detours, and reduce speeds through active work zones. Construction schedules and traffic restrictions may change depending on weather, project conditions, or construction progress.
