The Glade Reservoir project will begin construction just north of Ted's Place on US-287 north of Fort Collins. The dam will be built over the next 3 years and 287 will have to be relocated to the east side of the foothills.
It's going to be interesting to see the dam built, not very often do you get a chance to witness construction at this scale. The dam will be built where I put the red line. From what I understand, the dam will be about 300' high and 1,600' long. At capacity, storage will be 170,000 acre/feet, which is larger than the Horsetooth Reservoir just west of Fort Collins. The dam took about 30 years to get approval.
I'll post pictures as it's built.
