Maintaining paved roads involves many things. The division mills existing asphalt, paves and repaves existing county roads, and performs repairs through chip seal, slurry seal, and crack seal and patching operations.

Notable accomplishments of the division include:

• Improving Weld County Road 77 north of Briggsdale. An effort that began 2023 has resulted in 12 miles of road being rehabilitated, with more to come.

• Improving a four-mile section of Weld County Road (WCR) 29  in 2025. The portion of road, located between WCR 74 and Highway 14, features an improved driving surface and wider shoulders. 

The pavement management division can answer questions related to various road projects and the condition of county roads. Before reaching out, check the paved roads webpage, which contains lots of educational information along with frequently asked questions. 

Just over 770 miles of road within Weld County's transportation system are paved.

The road and bridge division assists with the construction and rebuild of county roads, maintenance and replacement of culverts and the maintenance, rebuild and replacement of county bridges.

Notable accomplishments of the division include:

• Finishing a large-scale project in 2019 replacing 200 load-restricted bridges throughout the county.

• Reconstructing bridge 54/13A, which crosses the Big Thompson River, in 2024. Bridge 44/51A, located south of Kersey, was also replaced.

• Constructing bridges that are built to last with safety in mind. Only 5% of Weld County bridges are structurally deficient, a figure better than the national average of 6.8% reported by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Questions or concerns about county bridges or ongoing bridge work? They can be answered by the division. The division can also provide insight on culverts, as it often repairs or replaces them as part of larger road projects.

The road and bridge division is responsible for maintaining 429 bridges and 18,000 culverts throughout the county.

The weed division controls noxious weeds growth along county roadsides and on county property through spraying and mowing operations and landowner education and compliance. Every noxious weed is treated differently depending on its classification with the Colorado Department of Agriculture. 

List A species: Required to be eradicated

List B species: At a minimum, required to be controlled or suppressed

List C species: Weeds to be addressed at a county or municipality's discretion

Notable accomplishments for the division:

• Treated over 2,000 acres of noxious weeds in the last two years.

• Starting in 2024, the weed division utilized a spray drone to assist in treating noxious weeds in smaller areas. This use of technology makes treating weeds more efficient than treating manually.

• Drones flown by the weed division can also assist on road projects throughout the county by photographing progress and checking on supply levels.

The weed division is always eager to provide advice and educational resources to help residents limit the growth of noxious weeds on their property. Noxious weed sightings can also be reported to this division. Before reaching out, be sure to visit www.weldweeds.org for educational resources and answers to frequently asked questions.

There are several species of noxious weeds in Weld County, but some common ones are:

• Canada Thistle
• Musk Thistle
• Scotch Thistle
• Russian Knapweed
• Diffuse Knapweed
• Leafy Spurge
• Hoary Cress
