Update for anyone that may be interested or planning a trip over the Christmas/New Years Holiday...
US 34 in the Big Thompson Canyon will be open beginning 12/23/16 through 01/03/17. They have ceased the blasting activity during this timeframe, but caution should probably be used particularly in the primary construction zone around Cedar Cove, which is the area between MM 77 and MM 81. After 01/03/17, US 34 will be closed again, the construction will get more intense, and it's not scheduled to re-open until Memorial Day weekend 2017. Because of a fairly mild autumn, they are ahead of schedule on this project, and hopefully will open prior to Memorial Day weekend.
