47 and 49, with said extended closure being effective March 31, 2023, for approximately an
additional two (2) weeks through April 13, 2023, for unanticipated delays due to inclement

giving notice of the restrictions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners of Weld
County, Colorado, deems it necessary to regulate, warn and guide vehicular traffic on County
roads and any intersections thereof, and it hereby authorizes and orders the posting of such traffic
control devices as shall be reasonably necessary to regulate, warn and/or guide traffic thereon
