In early 2024, Boulder County Public Works started the
North 95th Street (Valmont Road to Lookout Road) Reconstruction & Flood Resiliency Improvements Project to fix an area that is prone to flooding. Additionally, the project improved 95th Street at our Phillips Road turnoff - you can now actually see oncoming traffic when you're turn back on to 95th! And we got some nice turn lanes. So all-up, we're happy to see the work get done, but it does complicate getting here. And now that Phase 2 is underway, it's going to remain a bit more challenging through the end of the year.
As of December 14th, 2024, the main road is now open on a limited schedule. On Monday - Friday, 8am-4:30pm, the road is fully closed for construction. Otherwise, after 4:30pm and on weekends, the road is OPEN!
When the road is closed:
- 95th Street and Lookout Road. You must approach Capella Ranch from this direction. The pink line from 1. to 2. is the ONLY way to get to Capella Ranch.
- Capella Ranch. Bee Huts, baby goats, fresh cut flowers, honey, eggs, serenity.
- Where the closure is for the finishing touches on the road.
- 95th Street and Isabelle Road. If you find yourself at this intersection, you've got to take a detour. You can take the west route (5) or the east route (6)
- West route (yellow line) is 10 miles and takes about 15 minutes. Use this Google Maps link for West route turn-by-turn directions.
- East route (orange line) is 8 miles and takes about 11 minutes. Use this Google Maps link for East route turn-by-turn directions.
