Clear Creek Greenway Trail

About the 2025 Trail Courtesy Shuttle

From Friday, May 2, to Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025, the I-70 Floyd Hill Project will offer an on-demand courtesy shuttle to help trail users bypass the one-mile closure. To use the shuttle, trail users will need to head to the east or west end of the trail closure to be picked up. Once you arrive at the shuttle pick-up location, dial 720-760-2718, and the shuttle will pick you up and drive you to the opposite side to drop you off. Expect delays as the driver may be driving other trail users, parked on the opposite side of the trail or stuck in I-70 traffic delays. A maximum of four people are able to ride the shuttle at a time.

Fast Facts:

  • When you arrive at a pick up location, call 720-760-2718 to request the shuttle.
  • Expect delays and please be patient with our shuttle driver as they complete trips safely.
  • A maximum number of four people are allowed to ride the shuttle at a time, large groups can’t be accommodated and may need to wait and take multiple shuttle trips.
  • The shuttle has a bike rack that accommodates two-wheeled bicycles weighing less than 75 pounds. The shuttle has a truck bed for tricycles, four-wheel bikes, recumbents, tandems and other specialty bikes. Luggage can be stored in the truck bed as well.
  • The shuttle is not equipped with child safety seats of any kind and adheres to Colorado’s Child Passenger Safety Laws. Therefore, children who require a car seat will not be able to ride in the shuttle for their safety.
  • If you drive to the trail, please park at the Game Check Station Trailhead and Park, west of the closure, off of the Hidden Valley interchange (Exit 243) near the Veterans Memorial Tunnels.
  • Want to bypass the closure? Take a 30-mile alternative route, via CO 103, between Idaho Springs and Bergen Park. This route is one of the most scenic rides on the western slope and is the entryway to Echo Lake and Mount Evans. This alternative route will add additional time to your ride and can be strenuous. Be prepared and plan ahead before traveling.

About the Trail Area

The I-70 Floyd Hill Project requires a long-term closure of the Clear Creek Greenway trail between the US 6 (Exit 244) and Hidden Valley (Exit 243) interchanges for construction and utility work. The closure began in October 2023 and trail users can expect this one-mile portion of the trail to be closed for construction activities through spring 2027, as it is unsafe for multi use trail travel. Other segments of the trail will remain open. Visit Clear Creek County’s website to find other trails in your area!
