Weld County has a total of 4400 miles of roads. The County has
approximately 600 miles of paved roads (asphalt) , 3000 miles of
graveled and graded roads of earth, and 800 miles of unimproved
or primitive roads .
The County maintains 3600 miles of roads on a regular maintenance
schedule. For comparison the State of Wyoming has a total of
approximately 4000 miles of roads and highways.
The County of Weld also has approximately 1400 bridges. The State
of Colorado in total has 4200 bridges ; therefore , 33% of the state ' s
total is located in Weld County.
The Engineering Department prepared a theoretical study in the Fall
of 1976 and determined that if we replaced bridges at the rate of
twenty sevenper year it would take until the year 2011 to reach a
basis of being even.
Based on a ten year program of bringing the paved roads in Weld
County up to present day standards , it will require sixty miles of
paving per year. The Engineering Department is looking at stage
construction in this program and will work to achieve a 60 mile
per year average. The Department of Engineering is presently working
to achieve this result by stage construction as mentioned and also by
recycling all asphalt surfacing in the future .
Due to the increase in asphalt product prices the amount of asphalt
paving for 1977 will be approximately 12 to 15 miles. There is a
projected expenditure for 26 miles of low density surfacing and
this would result in 20 miles of seal coating. Based on these pro-
jections the $243,000. 00 for asphalt products would be totally
expended.
Presently all roads scheduled for work in 1977 have been "counted"
by the Traffic Division. Presently , the Traffic Division is
counting the traffic on all paved county roads and will start counts
on graveled roads when the paved count is complete .
