The players

City of Longmont

The municipal government responsible for managing public infrastructure and the Pace Street Improvements Project.

The details

Crews will complete the paving of southbound, northbound, and center lanes in three distinct phases. While one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction, east-west intersection traffic will be closed intermittently at 9th Avenue and Mountain View Avenue.

Timeline

  1. Paving operations are scheduled to begin on October 27, 2026.

  2. Paving operations are expected to conclude on October 30, 2026.

Culture Shift

This work follows the framework established by the Pace Street Improvements Project. Such maintenance initiatives reflect a broader municipal shift toward maintaining urban transit corridors to accommodate growing local vehicle traffic.

Drivers should prepare for restricted turning movements at intersections and driveways during the construction window. Motorists are encouraged to use detour signs and follow instructions from traffic control flaggers to navigate the area.

The takeaway

Drivers planning to use Pace Street should expect delays and plan for alternate routes during the four-day paving window. Following official signage and flagger instructions will remain essential for maintaining flow through the construction zone.

What happens next

Construction schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions throughout the work period.
