MESA COUNTY, CO — On April 28, the Mesa County Board of County Commissioners approved a $1,002,316.80 construction contract with Mountain Valley Contracting Inc. for infrastructure improvements near Broadway Elementary School.
The project focuses on updating pedestrian and drainage systems along 22 1/2 Road and Greenbelt Drive to connect the area between CO-340 and Redlands Parkway.
Scope of Work:
- Construction of ADA-compliant sidewalks along 22 ½ Road and Greenbelt Drive.
- Upgrades to existing drainage systems on both corridors.

The project is a joint agreement involving Mesa County, the City of Grand Junction, and School District 51, aimed at consolidating the improvements into a single construction phase.
