Do you have plans to take eastbound C-470 to US 85 (Santa Fe Drive) next weekend? If so, please read this update.

A full closure of the eastbound C-470 off-ramp to US 85 (Santa Fe Drive) is scheduled to occur from 9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, until 6 a.m., Monday, Dec. 12, for ramp reconstruction while crews relocate an underground water line that provides drinking water to the City of Englewood. This work is occurring in coordination with the US 85 widening and reconstruction project from Highlands Ranch Parkway to north of C-470.

Please give yourself extra time and pay attention to posted speed limits and signage.
