Project to Ease Congestion on Meadows Parkway in Castle Rock Begins

July 24, 2015 - Denver Metro Colorado/CDOT Region 1 - CASTLE ROCK – This week, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) began a project to ease congestion on Meadows Parkway between The Meadows and I-25 in Castle Rock.

This $1.4 million project will extend the outside of the eastbound through lane from Factory Shops Boulevard over the bridge to the northbound I-25 on ramp. The construction will complete in October 2015.

"Citizens and visitors of Castle Rock have experienced quite a bit of roadway construction recently, but we're excited to launch this new project which will ultimately help congestion in the area," said Paul Jesaitis, Region 1 Director of Transportation. "We are ensuring that impacts will be minor to alleviate headaches to drivers."

Impacts to travel will be minimal. Lane closures can be expected, but CDOT will maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction during peak travel times. The new configuration will ultimateley allow for two lanes of traffic to access I-25 from eastbound Meadows Parkway.
