2026 Transportation Plan Update

The City of Fort Lupton is a front range community in north-central Colorado. The City is located along the South Platte River, approximately 26 miles north of Denver, 23 miles south of Greeley, and 24 miles east of Boulder. Fort Lupton is positioned at the intersection of US Highway 85 and Colorado Route 52, providing access to Interstate 25 to the west and Interstate 76 to the east as well as the greater Denver and Front Range regions.


Expansion and improvement of the existing transportation system needs to be planned for and implemented in response to planned growth.


The 2026 Transportation Plan Update builds off of the 2018 Transportation Plan. Updates to the current roadway system are included with the original Plan document by JR Engineering. This Plan adds sections related to maintaining, prioritizing and strategies for the roadway system within the City.
