FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Construction will begin Wednesday, Nov. 12 on the Power Trail Harmony Crossing project, closing the gap in the Power Trail between Golden Meadows Park and Keenland Drive and providing a safe crossing of Harmony Road via an underpass beneath the roadway. The project is a major step forward in improving safe, connected trail access for pedestrians and cyclists across the city.

Initial construction will focus on the underpass beneath Harmony Road. Construction will then proceed to build trail segments north and south of the underpass, toward Keenland Drive and Golden Meadows Park along the Union Pacific Railroad corridor. The full trail facility is expected to be completed in Spring 2027, completing the Power Trail as a continuous paved trail from Trilby Road to the Spring Creek Trail.

Initial construction impacts in November and December will include shoulder closures and median work on Harmony Road between McMurry Avenue and Timberline Road. Trees on the south side of Harmony Road in the path of the new underpass and trail section will need to be removed.

A ceremonial groundbreaking event for City staff and media is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 2, at 11 a.m. at Golden Meadows Park, just north of the project site. Attendees will gather at the current northern terminus of the trail, with a possible visit to the project site to mark the beginning of construction. Credentialed media who would like to attend should contact [email protected].
