Traffic Impacts – updated August 4, 2022

August 1 – 15, 2022: The County’s contractor (Zak Dirt) continues to advance construction of the mechanically reinforced retaining walls which are located on both east and west sides of Yosemite Street. The second phase of the retaining wall construction is underway, which involves building the cast-in-place concrete form liner elements. Additionally, Zak Dirt has made significant progress on the bridge abutments.

Other traffic issues during August 2022: On westbound C-470 from Yosemite Street, a portion of the left lane of the ramp will be closed daily (Monday – Thursday) from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and on Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additionally, the right lane of northbound Yosemite Street, just before Park Meadows Center Drive, will have intermittent closures during these days/times.

This project will continue through November 2022.

During construction, the existing trail access will be closed. Pedestrians and cyclists will be detoured via Yosemite Street, Parkway Drive, and ultimately rejoin the C-470 Trail from both east and west directions (see detour map above).
Motorists can expect intermittent single-lane traffic with flaggers assisting motorists through the work zone.
Normal work hours will be Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Fridays, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m. Occasional brief closures will be scheduled to allow crews safe passage through the work zone.
During the bridge construction, full lane, and ramp closures will be necessary.

Description

A new Douglas County trail improvement project began on Dec. 13, 2021. Designed to improve safety along the trail, the project includes the installation of a pedestrian bridge with the extension of a multi-use trail/sidewalk on the north side of S. Yosemite Street and the C-470 off-ramp.

The current trail requires pedestrians and cyclists to cross at the busy intersection of Yosemite and C-470. With the construction of the new overpass, the trail will be rerouted over the intersection, creating a safer, more convenient connection for pedestrians and cyclists. Additionally, the new pedestrian bridge will improve mobility by reducing congestion and traffic delays on Yosemite Street related to C-470 trail users interfacing with motorists.

The total project is estimated at $7 million. The County was selected to receive $2 million in federal funds through the DRCOG project selection process, and the remaining project costs are Douglas County’s responsibility. The Park Meadows Metro District has agreed to contribute $100,000 towards the construction costs.
