Mason Street Improvements#
Background#
A map of the Mason Street project.
The Mason Street corridor is a heavily trafficked thoroughfare that connects the west side of Downtown Fort Collins with Colorado State University. In addition to being an important business corridor, Mason Street also carries the MAX bus rapid transit line through Downtown.
Improvements and repairs in 2023 and 2024 were necessary to continue to maintain a high level of service along the corridor and make concrete, curb, and gutter repairs where needed.
Project Goals#
This project involved road upgrades and improvements along the Mason Street corridor from University Avenue (on the CSU campus) to W. Maple Street. A major objective was to address re-occurring wear and tear issues, including significant damage to the pavement and underlying structure the comes from high use by cars and heavy buses.
These reconstruction and structural improvements from this project are designed to enhance the durability of roads along the travel corridor and reduce the need for more frequent maintenance. The result: a route that is maintained to a high standard and stays in good condition for years to come.
Timeline#
This project was completed in June 2024.
