with any such road closure establish appropriate detours or provide for an alternative
routing of the traffic affected...", and

to through traffic and to regulate, warn and guide vehicular traffic by posting signs thereon,
with said closure being effective July 7, 2025, for approximately six (6) weeks for a bridge

such traffic control devices as shall be reasonably necessary to regulate, warn, and/or
guide traffic thereon for the safety of the general public and that said traffic control devices

Be it further resolved that the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County,
Colorado, does declare and establish that County Road 48.5, between County Road 17
