PHASE THREE of asphalt repair, Rock Bottom Ranch to the Catherine Bridge Trailhead (MP 18.5 to 16.0-wildlife section), is OPEN! This is the last of the three phases where trail closures took place. We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and understanding during the entirety of this project as we worked to repair and replace asphalt, ensuring a smoother and safer trail experience.
The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) and Holmes Excavation are excited to bring a much needed improvement to the Rio Grande Trail.
To minimize disruption and ensure efficiency, trail repairs will unfold in four distinct phases:
Phase One: Emma Rd to Hooks Spur Trailhead (MP 21.5 to 20.5) RE-OPENED
Phase Two: Hooks Spur Trailhead to Rock Bottom Ranch (MP 20.5 to 18.5). RE-OPENED
Phase Three: Rock Bottom Ranch to the Catherine Bridge Trailhead (Wildlife section – MP 18.5 to 16.0). RE-OPENED
Phase Four: Crack Sealing along the RGT from 29th St in GWS up valley to Emma Rd; the trail will remain open during this phase of work. (MP 2.0 to 21.5).
Your tax dollars are hard at work, enhancing our beloved Rio Grande Trail with RFTA Destination 2040.
