Paving Just South of the State Line

Paving contractors in Wellington work in the first Colorado town drivers reach heading south on I-25 from Cheyenne. Wellington calls itself Colorado's Northern Gateway and sits at about 5,194 feet, roughly 10 miles north of Fort Collins. Historically it served drivers commuting between Cheyenne and Fort Collins, and today many residents still split their week between the two.

Growth

Wellington was founded in 1902, incorporated in 1905 and named for C. L. Wellington of the Colorado and Southern Railroad. It counted 2,672 residents in 2000, 6,289 in 2010 and 11,047 in 2020, with a median age of 32.9 and 3,794 households. Most driveways are under 25 years old, so sealing and crack work are the most common requests, along with repairs where builder base has settled.

Town right-of-way permit

Wellington's right-of-way permit form covers excavation or obstruction in the right-of-way. It asks for a drawing of the work, an insurance certificate, a traffic control plan and any special conditions, and the form shows a $1,000 deposit refunded after final inspection and Town approval. The Town wants the start date at least 24 hours ahead, and cleanup is due within 14 days after underground work. We confirm current fees with the Town before applying.

Acreages outside town

Acreages around Wellington often connect to numbered Larimer County roads. The county requires an access permit for those connections, $50 for one or two homes, with a culvert of at least 15 inches where needed. Long drives can mix hot-mix near the house with compacted millings beyond.

Wind and open ground

Open plains north of Fort Collins bring wind and drifting snow, much like Cheyenne. Edges that are supported and surfaces that shed melt hold up best.

Costs

HomeGuide lists new asphalt driveways at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot and sealcoating at $1 to $2. Angi lists millings at $3 to $8 per square foot installed.

Scheduling from Cheyenne

Wellington is about 35 miles south of Cheyenne on I-25. Travel is included in the estimate.

What owners here usually ask for

Most Wellington requests are crack sealing and sealcoating on newer driveways, repairs where builder base has settled, and acreage drives that mix hot-mix and millings.
