Montrose, CO – Contractors working for the City will close Niagara Road from Townsend Ave. to Hillcrest Drive starting on Thursday August 9th. Contractors will be milling and patching back asphalt on the waterline trench and other failing sections of the street.

In addition, the sections of missing concrete sidewalk, and curb and gutter will be replaced. The entire road will then be milled and overlaid back with striping to follow shortly thereafter. This work is anticipated to last two weeks. Any opportunity to reopen portions of the road while maintaining a safe work zone and not creating additional road hazards will be made. Local access will remain open for all businesses and residents.

The City asks that motorists and pedestrians exercise caution within the work area, respect all coned off areas and to follow the posted detours. Any questions regarding the project may be directed to City Engineer Scott Murphy at 970.901.1792.
