Phase 3 construction is anticipated to start on May 5, 2025. Temporary road closure of Palmer Divide Avenue (between Black Forest Rd and S. East Cherry Creek Rd) will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. for approximately 50 consecutive days between May 5 through July 1, 2025, to safely and efficiently complete the Project. The road closure will allow for an accelerated schedule and safe installation of new culverts and asphalt paving for this gravel road section of Palmer Divide Avenue.
Detour route signs and variable message signs will be in place during the closure. All Emergency Services will have full access through the project limits throughout the duration of the closure. Neither Douglas County and El Paso County School Districts uses this section of roadway for bus routes. All impacted emergency services, in addition to the Douglas County and El Paso County School Districts, will be notified prior to the closure.
