The City of Grand Junction has begun Phase Two of the Four Canyons Parkway project. The transportation improvement is designed to support future growth by reducing traffic on neighborhood streets, easing congestion and improving overall traffic flow along the 25 Road and Patterson Road corridors.

In preparation for roadway construction planned in 2026, Xcel Energy recently completed the 25 Road Natural Gas Project to enhance natural-gas-system safety.

Upcoming work will include installation of additional utility infrastructure along 25 Road. As of Jan. 12, the city’s contractor began construction on a small section along 25 Road.

Construction along 25 Road will occur in phases to minimize traffic impacts. Work will progress from north to south, ending at the intersection of 25 Road and Patterson Road. During closures, local traffic will be detoured onto nearby residential streets to maintain access to homes, businesses and schools. A map showing the first closure and detour route, as well as more information on the project can be found at: www.gjcity.org/1213/Four-Canyons-Parkway-Project.

Phase Two of Four Canyons Parkway is located east of 24 1⁄2 Road and is currently focused on utility installation prior to roadway construction. Planned improvements include: a new four-lane arterial connecting 24 1⁄2 Road to and along 25 Road south to Patterson Road; a reconfigured intersection at 25 Road to improve traffic capacity and safety; and a widened, reconstructed intersection at 25 Road and Patterson Road in the final stage.
