Driving through the Village at Avon? A new temporary traffic pattern began Wednesday, Oct. 28, as construction continues. The Town of Avon says the new detour road and a newly built section of East Beaver Creek Boulevard are open to traffic. About 175 feet of Chapel Alley, between Chapel Place and East Beaver Creek Boulevard, is closed for approximately one month.

What changed at the Village at Avon?

Traffic has shifted from the previous temporary detour onto the new route. The town is removing the older detour as work proceeds. The Chapel Alley closure affects a short segment, but drivers heading to nearby businesses or making a connection through the area should allow extra time to follow the posted route.

Avon asks drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to use caution around the active construction area. Watch for current signs and changing traffic patterns rather than relying on an older route in a navigation app.

How long will Chapel Alley be closed?

The town estimates the roughly 175-foot section will remain closed for about a month from Oct. 28. That is an estimate, not a confirmed reopening date. Check the Town of Avon’s construction notice for the latest information before making a time-sensitive trip.

Where can you get an update?

For questions about the project, the town lists Avon Engineering at 970-748-4080. The official notice is the best source for any changes to the detour or reopening schedule.
