2026 marks three big milestones — the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, 150th anniversary of Colorado's establishment, and 165th anniversary of Weld County's establishment. See information on each commemoration and how to get involved.
Roads in Weld County's transportation system must be built to safely and efficiently meet today's traffic demand, while also being able to accommodate future traffic demand as well. With the anticipated staring date in the spring or summer of 2027, WCR 54 from WCR 13 to Highway 257 will be expanded from a two-lane paved section to an interim two-lane concrete road. The shoulders on the improved section will vary in width and include both gravel and pavement.
