Arvada's Ralston Road Project Phase 2 Set To Begin Monday

ARVADA, CO — The city of Arvada and its contract infrastructure partner are set to begin phase two of the Ralston Road reconstruction project on Monday, transportation officials said. The phase is expected to last 24 months.

Work will begin at Yukon Street and progress westward to Garrison Street, the city said.

Phase two, which will be funded through a voter-approved bond measure, will include pavement reconstruction, roadway widening, safety and drainage improvements, the replacement of traffic signals and landscaping, officials said. Curb ramps and sidewalks will be brought into Americans with Disabilities Act compliance.

During construction, a single lane will be open at all times in both directions of Ralston Road, the city said.

"Access to businesses and residences may be narrowed but will be maintained, as well as access to RTD bus stops," the city said in a news release.

"Some lane and intersection closures of arterial roads may exist at certain times during the project with advisories and signage in place to alert motorists and pedestrians to the closures."
