Much-Needed Road Improvement Happening At Glade Park
A Much Welcome Change
For those who don't frequent Glade Park and the area south of the Colorado National Monument, you'd never know it's happening and wouldn't even care. But, for the many who do, it's a much-welcomed change.

The Rest of the Road Gets Paved
Motorists traveling from Fruita to Glade Park will soon be enjoying the comfort of a completely paved road from the monument all the way to the Glade Park Store located on DS Road. The final mile of 16 1/2 Road directly south of the monument is in the middle of a major paving project. For years, 16 1/2 Road has been paved from the Glade Park Store for about three miles before turning to gravel until you get to the scenic loop on the monument.
