BOULDER COUNTY, CO — Weekday cycling restrictions on Fourmile Canyon Drive and Gold Run Road have been lifted, Boulder County officials announced Monday. Flood recovery construction has been suspended until the weather is more suitable to complete the remaining work — most likely in May 2020, the county said. Most of the remaining work will focus on removing the old asphalt and repaving the road. Other projects include: re vegetation and landscaping, stream restoration, guardrail installation and retaining wall veneers. There will still be trucks and equipment on the road, but the "volume of activity will be greatly diminished," officials said. The remaining work is expected to last into July. "Boulder County thanks everyone for their patience and understanding while we've worked to complete the last major flood-recovery related reconstruction project in the county," read a Boulder County update. "When work resumes, cycling restrictions are unlikely to be re instituted." (Stay up-to-date on Boulder news with Boulder Patch!
