GRAND MESA NATIONAL FOREST - TRICKEL PARK ROAD #121 TO SEE TRAFFIC DELAYS DUE TO PAVING PROJECT

DELTA, Colo., July 29 -- The U.

S. Department of Agriculture's U.

S. Forest Service unit - Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests - issued the following press release:

The US Forest Service has announced that folks driving on the Trickel Park Road #121 on the Grand Mesa National Forest may experience daytime road delays from approximately July 28 through August 20 due to a road rehabilitation/paving project.

The public should anticipate delays of up to 30 minutes from 8am to 5pm daily during construction. The road should be re-opened and passable for 2-way traffic every evening after 6pm and be open on weekends.

Ward Lake campground, Thunder Mountain Lodge, Frost RV and Alexander Lodge will remain open during this time period. Travelers may chose the alternate route of the Old Grand Mesa Road, #123 to access the Grand Mesa Resort private property or any of the amenities located on the eastern end of the Tickle Park Road.

The road project will occur on the paved section of the road and will include removal of protruding rock within the existing roadbed, replacing culverts, improving of the road ditch, road milling/grinding of the old pavement and then placement of rejuvenated pavement by the US Forest Service and Delta County.

"We are extremely excited to complete the road repair and repaving on the Trickel Park Road," states Ranger Connie Clementson, "However, we regret that some delays of traffic while road work occurs will pose an inconvenience to travelers on the Grand Mesa National Forest." All road work should be completed and ready for 'Color Sunday' slated in late September. The funding of this project is a cooperative effort between the Forest Service and Delta County. For the latest information, contact the Grand Valley Ranger District at 970-242-8211 or the Grand Mesa Visitors Center at 970-856-4153.
