Road Work on Harmony

If you have been on the south side of Fort Collins as of late, I am sure that you have seen the orange cones on Harmony and it has progressively gotten worse. Its is going to keep getting worse before it gets better. Its cliche to say that but it is true. The goals of this construction is to:

• Improve the safety and traffic flow for motorists and bicyclists
• Eliminate the "bottleneck" at the crossing with the Union Pacific Railroad
• Re-stripe Harmony Road to a 6-lane arterial from Boardwalk Drive to Timberline
• Provide dedicated right turn lanes to reduce vehicle delay

The Harmony Maintenance Project started in May and is expected to go through August.

Improvements:

Lemay Ave

• Bridge demolition of the former Dixion Lateral structure
• Minor sidewalk removal and replacement
• Asphalt mill, overlay and re-striping from the bridge to Harmony Road
• A dedicated right turn lane northbound Lemay to eastbound Harmony

Harmony Road

• Pavement treatments from College to Timberline
• Asphalt overlay and re-striping from College to Timberline
• 4-lane arterial roadway with on street bike lanes College to Boardwalk
• 6-lane arterial roadway with on street bike lanes Boardwalk to Timberline
• Improved Transfort bus stops with shelters

There are also going to be new or relocated traffic lights, ADA accessible curb ramps and crosswalks, new railroad tracks for the length of the crossing and new signals and gates.

Make sure you try to avoid this area if you can because I can guarantee that traffic back-ups are likely
