The Confluence Area Multi-Use Path Projects will provide much-needed multimodal connections between Gunbarrel and the city. These projects are located at the confluence, or junction, of Boulder Creek and South Boulder Creek as well as Boulder Creek and Fourmile Canyon Creek. Projects include the Andrus Road to Airport Road Multi-Use Path Project, Valmont Road Multi-Use Path Project and 61st Street Multi-Use Path Project.
Three multimodal connection projects between Gunbarrel and Boulder have been identified in the confluence areas of Boulder Creek and South Boulder Creek, as well as Boulder Creek and Fourmile Canyon Creek. View a map of Boulder creeks.
The Andrus Road to Airport Road Multi-Use Path project will provide a walking and cycling connection between Gunbarrel (63rd Street path) and central Boulder.
Phase 1 construction of the project was completed in July 2021. The Phase 2 timeline is to be determined - view the project webpage for more info.
The city will build a new multi-use path near Valmont Road to provide an off-street connection from 61st Street to the existing pedestrian bridge and multi-use path at South Boulder Creek. Learn more on the Valmont Road Multi-Use Path Project webpage.
