Attention, Fort Collins residents! We have an urgent update regarding road closures due to recent water main breaks. Two major routes are affected, and we want to ensure your safety and convenience.
The city has announced closures on Drake Road and Horsetooth Road, causing potential disruptions to your daily commute. But here's where it gets controversial: these closures might last longer than initially expected.
Let's dive into the details. Drake Road, a vital east Fort Collins route, will undergo a full closure on February 18th for repair work. The rupture occurred on February 11th between Lemay Avenue and Timberline Road, specifically from Park Lake Court to Sagebrush Drive. Currently, only the eastbound lanes are closed, but a full closure is scheduled for the 18th, and the city hints that it might extend beyond that date.
And this is the part most people miss: the Horsetooth Road closure. Westbound Horsetooth Road is currently closed from Landings Drive to JFK Parkway due to another water main break. The city disclosed this on February 14th, and like the Drake Road closure, it could also extend beyond the 18th.
So, what does this mean for your daily commute? It's time to plan alternative routes and be prepared for potential delays. Stay tuned for further updates, and remember, safety first!
