A section of the Colorado Riverfront Trail will be closed to allow the city of Grand Junction and its contractor to make improvements.
The project and closure will impact the areas of Hale Avenue within the Riverside Neighborhood, and South Seventh Street, on the east side of the Fifth Street/Highway 50 overpass. The closure will begin on Monday and remain closed for approximately one week but could open on Jan. 15.
The primary reason for this temporary closure will be for the installation of new utilities, requiring bore holes underneath theRiverfront Trail in several locations. These new utility lines will service the new Riverfront at Dos Rios development that is currently under construction.
