The temporary weekday closure of North Cheyenne Canyon Road is necessary due to the boulder that is currently blocking Gold Camp Road. Due to the blockage, construction vehicles cannot access Gold Camp Road as planned and will be using North Cheyenne Canyon Road instead. The USDA Forest Service is continuing its work to assess and remove the boulder.

The construction project will improve and expand the existing gravel parking lot that is located uphill of Helen Hunt Falls at the intersection of North Cheyenne Canyon Road, High Drive and Gold Camp Road. The current parking lot count will be increased from 75 non-designated spaces to 92 designated stalls. Concrete curb and gutter will be added, along with a paved asphalt surface and accessible parking spaces.
