WELD COUNTY, Colo. — Another roundabout will be built in northern Colorado.
Weld County officials said an intersection south of Dacono and east of Erie is set to be transformed into a roundabout next year.
The Weld County Board of Commissioners said the project at the intersection of Weld County Road (WCR) 6 and WCR 13 was awarded to WW Clyde.
Construction is anticipated to start Jan. 9 and be completed by Aug. 19, 2025 for an amount not to exceed $13,227,366.
WW Clyde — formerly IHC Scott — has worked on other Weld County roundabouts including WCR 54 and WCR 17 as well as 35th Avenue and O Street.
The roundabout will be built for urban and rural traffic, meaning the lanes will be wide enough to accommodate large agricultural equipment and semitrucks. The lanes will also be made of concrete, a feature that helps ensure a longer lifecycle, officials said.
The roundabout aims to increase safety and efficiency at the intersection, which sees approximately 7,340 vehicles pass through it daily, with the majority of accidents experienced being broadside collisions.
“For the past several years, we’ve constructed more roundabouts to increase safety and efficiency at various intersections throughout the county, and we’re pleased with the results,” said Kevin Ross, Weld County Commissioner Chair. “We expect a similar positive impact from this roundabout not only now but years from now as Weld County continues to grow.”
