Before and after views south along CR 17. The Dry Creek crossing is to be replaced with a suitably sized structure. The Town of Berthoud is sharing in the cost of the shoulder widening. 13 temporary easements were necessary from 10 property owners. Coulson Excavating Company of Loveland is the low bidder and was awarded the contract.
Construction is complete.
All utilities were impacted to some degree or another. A Little Thompson Water District water vault was moved and an easement acquired at county expense. Two wetlands areas were identified within the project limits which might be disturbed by construction. It is anticipated that this wetland will be eliminated by the improvements which must be installed at this location. The second area is small riparian wetland at the Dry Creek crossing with an area of approximately 0.03 acres.
