Full Roadway Closure on Shields St between Mountain Ave. and Laporte Ave., Beginning Oct. 23
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A full roadway closure on Shields Street between Mountain and Laporte Avenues will begin Oct. 23. 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 Street between Mountain and Akin Avenues for the Oak Street Water System Improvement Project, also starting on Oct. 23. Both east and westbound Mountain Avenue will remain open at Shields Street.
Fort Collins Utilities and its general contractor, Connell Resources, will be conducting work between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. This portion of the project has an anticipated completion date of Nov. 1, 2024 (weather permitting). This work is part of the 2024 Collections System Replacement Project that first began replacing sanitary sewer infrastructure along the north Shields Street corridor in September 2024. The replacement of 100+ year old sewer mains throughout Fort Collins is being completed annually.
