This map shows the areas of Harmony impacted by construction projects.
There are multiple construction projects impacting East Harmony Road between South College Avenue and South Timberline Road, beginning in February 2025:
- Harmony Road Work: Phase 2: Led by the City's Streets department, this project will resurface Harmony between College and Timberline - a continuation of last year's resurfacing of Harmony from Timberline to Strauss Cabin Road.
- Zone 5 Project: Harmony Crossing: Led by Fort Collins-Loveland Water District, this project will install a 24 inch water line across Harmony at Boardwalk Drive - part of a multi-phase water infrastructure project stretching eight miles across the city.
- Power Trail Harmony Crossing: Led by the City's Engineering department, this project will complete the gap in the Power Trail between Golden Meadows Park and Keenland Drive by building a trail underpass beneath Harmony.
Traffic impacts from these projects are listed below and on our construction webpage.
Construction impacts#
Harmony to experience periodic lane closures between College and Timberline in March
East Harmony Road will experience periodic lane closures between South College Avenue and South Timberline Road during March for concrete repair work (related to Harmony Road Work) and utility relocations (related to Power Trail Harmony Crossing). Lanes may be reduced on this stretch of Harmony during work; Harmony will remain open to traffic and all access to businesses will be maintained.
Boardwalk Drive closed at Harmony March 20-25
Boardwalk Drive will be fully closed to traffic at East Harmony Road from Thursday, March 20 to Tuesday, March 25 while Fort Collins-Loveland Water District performs utility work beneath the roadway. Detours will be in place during the closure; all access to businesses will be maintained.
Harmony fully closed at Boardwalk Drive March 22-23
The intersection of East Harmony Road and Boardwalk Drive will be fully closed to all traffic Saturday, March 22 and Sunday, March 23 to allow Fort Collins-Loveland Water District to replace critical water infrastructure beneath the intersection. Detours will be updated here in advance of the closure.
Westbound Harmony closed at JFK March 22-23
Westbound Harmony Road will be closed at John F. Kennedy Parkway Saturday, March 22 and Sunday, March 23 while crews complete concrete repairs. Westbound traffic on Harmony will be directed onto northbound John F. Kennedy Parkway; eastbound traffic on Harmony will remain open and be reduced to one lane through the intersection. Traffic is advised to use Horsetooth Road instead of Harmony for east/west travel to avoid impacts March 22-23.
Lane closures at Harmony and JFK March 24-26
Lane closures will be in place at the intersection of Harmony Road and John F. Kennedy Parkway Monday, March 24 - Wednesday, March 26 while crews complete asphalt repairs.
Phase 2: College to Timberline (2025)#
A map of Phase 2's impacted area
Harmony Road serves as one of Fort Collins' key arterial roads and primary east-west corridors. To maintain the safety and quality of this major road, our crews are repairing concrete infrastructure and resurfacing Harmony's road surface in two phases, continuing with Phase 2 in 2025.
Phase 2 of this project will resurface East Harmony Road between South College Avenue (US 287) and South Timberline Road, beginning Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025:
- Concrete maintenance: Our Streets Maintenance Program (SMP) will begin concrete maintenance on Feb. 5, lasting for 6-8 weeks and depending on favorable weather. Single lane closures will be used as needed during this work.
- Asphalt resurfacing: This portion of the SMP project will begin after concrete maintenance is complete and last for 4-6 weeks, pending favorable weather. Multiple lane closures will be used as needed during this work; we expect to have at least one lane of traffic open in each direction at all times.

Recap: Phase 1: Timberline to Strauss Cabin (2024)#
From March 25 - June 7, 2024 repaving and restriping work was completed on East Harmony Road from South Timberline Road to Strauss Cabin Road approaching I-25. To maintain the safety and quality of this stretch of Harmony, crews repaired and replaced the road surface and select parts of concrete infrastructure.
Crews began milling and overlaying Harmony Road with a new surface on April 29, 2024. Work continued through June 7. During that time, construction closed several lanes of traffic at a time to protect workers and motorists.
Typical working hours were Monday through Friday 7 a.m - 7 p.m., however work occurred outside these times or on the weekends to expedite the project.
This phase of the project won awards from the American Public Works Association (APWA) and “Best in Colorado” Asphalt Pavement Awards Program.
