Paving operations scheduled for this week have been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. Paving has been rescheduled for the weeks of
September 9 and 16. The revised schedule for treatment of the various milled streets and intersections includes the following:

Monday, September 9 and Tuesday, September 10:

• Pacific Ave from Spruce St. to Willow St.
• Willow St. from Pacific Ave. to Colorado Ave.
• S. Pine St. from San Juan Ave. to Pacific Ave.

Intermittent lane and road closures will allow for paving and patching operations without limiting public access to town. Detours will be set up around operations to account for street and lane closures.

Operations will adhere to the Town of Telluride’s noise ordinance for loud and heavy machinery. Traffic closures will work around school drop-off and release to avoid traffic congestion.

Nestled amidst the majestic San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, Telluride’s captivating narrative is deeply rooted in the ancient legacy of the Ute tribe, the valley’s original inhabitants, who crafted their summer camps along the San Miguel River, naming the land “The Valley of Hanging Waterfalls.”

In the late 1700s, Spanish explorers traversed the rugged terrain, laying the groundwork for subsequent exploration and settlement. A fervent mining boom followed, igniting a rush of prospectors to the region, culminating in the founding of Telluride in 1880.

Telluride’s allure as a hub of opportunity attracted fortune seekers, bolstered by the arrival of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad and groundbreaking innovations like the hydroelectric power plant in Ames.

Set in a box canyon amid forested peaks at the base of the popular Telluride ski-and-golf resort, the town’s historic district houses landmarks like the Sheridan Opera House and the Telluride Historical Museum while playing host to culture, music, arts, outdoor recreation, and festivals with unrivaled views and dramatic locale.
