Boulder County&#8217;s 2025 Climate Action Plan sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 86% below 2005 levels by 2030. This project contributes to those goals through energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and reduced vehicle miles traveled.<\/p>\n<p>The project includes improvements along SH-7 \/ Ute Highway between Erie and the intersection with Nelson Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2026 with completion expected within 17 months.<\/p>\n<h3>Community Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Wildfire risk mapping conducted by Wildfire Partners shows that 36% of properties in the Erie area are within the wildland-urban interface.
