Re: Full Roadway Closure on Shields St between Mountain Ave. and LaPorte Ave., Beginning October 23rd
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A full roadway closure on Shields St between LaPorte Ave and Mountain Ave will begin October 23rd. Detour routes around the closure will be posted. Access for residents will be maintained but may be limited at times. Pedestrian access in the area will be maintained. This closure coincides with the full roadway closure on Shields St between Mountain Ave and Akin Ave for the Oak Street Water System Improvement Project, also starting on October 23rd. Both east and west bound Mountain Ave will remain open at Shields St.
Fort Collins Utilities and its general contractor, Connell Resources, will be conducting work between the hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. This portion of the project has an anticipated completion date of November 1st (weather permitting). This work is part of the 2024 Collections System Replacement Project that first began replacing sanitary sewer infrastructure along the north Shields St. corridor back in September. The replacement of 100+ year old sewer mains throughout Fort Collins is being completed annually.

We clean and maintain the City's wastewater system year-round to prevent sewer backups. You can help by only flushing the three Ps.
Shrubs and trees require less water than bluegrass, so it's best to water them separately.
Leaving grass clippings where they fall adds nutrients to the soil. A mulching mower chops grass into small pieces.
