A gravel pull-off on Colo. 7 in the South St. Vrain Canyon became a place of celebration Thursday.
At a lectern set up along the roadside, five miles west of Hall Ranch trail head, CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew shared the good news with a crowd of roughly 20 people. After being closed for 2013 flood damage repairs, Colo. 7 will reopen to motorists at noon Friday.
Work on the highway is nearly complete, with construction between mile markers 23.3 to 29.6 expected to wrap up in November. Once finished, Colo. 7 will mark the state’s final flood recovery project.
