ASCE Northern Colorado Branch March 2023 Dinner Meeting, NISP's Highway 287 Realignment

Please join us for our March dinner meeting as we learn about the realignment of Highway 287 for NISP's Glade Reservoir.

What happens when a 7-mile highway relocation IS the environmental mitigation? This presentation will discuss design considerations and constraints for developing a new highway alignment that is critical path in the overall Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP).

The NISP will supply 15 Northern Front Range water providers with 40,000 acre-feet of new, reliable water supplies. Northern Water is pursuing permitting, design and construction of the project on behalf of the participants, who will be providing water to nearly half a million residents by 2050. The US Army Corps of Engineers issued a federal Clean Water Act Section 404 Record of Decision and Permit in December 2022, which culminates nearly 20 years of federal permitting for NISP. The main project components include:

  • Two reservoirs (Glade Reservoir northwest of Fort Collins, and Galeton Reservoir northeast of Greeley)
  • Five pump plants
  • Over 80 miles of pipelines to deliver water for exchange with two irrigation companies and for delivery to participants
  • Relocation of approximately 7 miles of US Highway 287
The current alignment of US Highway 287 goes through the planned footprint of Glade Reservoir, so approximately seven miles must be realigned and relocated east as a two-lane arterial roadway. Construction of the relocated highway will be completed prior to the completion of Glade Reservoir to avoid a road closure and associated displacement of traffic onto other roads. Northern Water continues to work closely with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to ensure the design requirements and construction planning meet all regulatory standards for CDOT.
