• Construction crews have made a lot of progress removing the old asphalt and prepping for paving, but the project has been delayed due to unforeseen conditions found in the roadway subsurface o The base of the road failed compaction testing and standards, and it has to be replaced prior to re-paving o We believe this was the root cause of the issue and was what led to the road cracking and failing in the first place. o We are going to make the extra effort to repair the conditions of the base layer to ensure the road is built properly • Unfortunately, this means the project will be delayed and will not be finished tomorrow (Friday) as originally scheduled o Crews will begin excavating the road base as soon as possible, and they will replace material as they go to limit interruptions to neighbors and their driveway access. o Weather permitting, we anticipate completing this process and paving by the end of next week, Friday, 11/3 • Please continue to park off-street and out of the construction area during this time. • We appreciate everyone’s patience. • If you have questions, please contact the Town at 970-285-7630 or info@parachute.gov

Construction on the new restrooms near the boat ramp continues to make great progress. Once completed, the new restrooms will replace the current porta-potty and provide year-round facility access to guests and users at the boat ramp, Parachute Adventures, Running Burrito, and Bustang. It is expected to be complete and open by the end of the year.

We will provide updates when available. Thank you and drive safe! #roadimprovements #potholeparadise #parachutepopo #trafficdelays #garfieldcounty

Garfield County will commence repaving the CR 300 River Bridge (near the boat ramp) on Monday, September 25th. The project is expected to take one week, and it is scheduled to be completed by Friday, September 29th - weather permitting. Temporary one lane closures will be necessary during the project, and traffic should anticipate brief holds and delays. Please plan ahead, drive carefully, and be alert when driving through the construction zone. CDOT is also planning to repave the I70 overpasses on CR 300 later this fall. Additional details will be made available as the project timeline is finalized.

Thanks for making this a great season, everyone! Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the splashpad this year. We anticipate the Cactus feature being fixed in time for next season! Bon Voyage Summer, Hello Fall
