Earlier today, the City of Castle Pines and project partners celebrated the groundbreaking of the Happy Canyon Road and Interstate 25 interchange reconstruction project! The celebration brought together Castle Pines Mayor Tracy Engerman, Castle Pines City Council Member and Chair of the Douglas County Transportation Forum Steering Committee Deborah Mulvey, Castle Pines City Council Member Chris Eubanks, members of the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners, representatives from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), construction contractor Kraemer North America, and other project partners. The reconstruction will improve safety, reduce congestion, and make travel easier for residents and visitors. Improvements include new bridges, reconstructed highway ramps, and a new diverging diamond interchange designed to improve traffic flow and accommodate future growth. Construction begins next week! Here's what drivers should know: - November 16–19: Nighttime lane closures on I-25 are scheduled from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. as crews prepare for construction. - Drivers should expect narrowed and shifted lanes and reduced speed limits. - The existing Happy Canyon Road bridge will remain open during the first phase of construction, maintaining access across I-25 and to the highway. The project is expected to be completed in early 2029. Thank you to all our project partners for helping make this important investment in our community possible, and to residents for your patience as work gets underway. Learn more about the project, see the future interchange design, and stay up to date on construction impacts: CastlePinesCO.gov/HCIntercha…

It’s once again that time of year – snow is falling in parts of Colorado, and we know it won’t be long before it’s falling in Castle Pines, too! When it does, our crews will be ready to clear the streets. Streets are cleared based on a priority system, starting with major arterials, such as Castle Pines Parkway and Monarch Boulevard, before moving to smaller collector streets and neighborhood roads. Check out the City's Snow and Ice webpage at CastlePinesCO.gov/Snow. There you’ll find a variety of resources, including a map of the roadway priority system for snow plowing operations and a snow plow tracking map that shows the locations of plows as they work to clear snow from the City's roadways.

Major improvements are coming to the Happy Canyon Road and I-25 interchange! Work on the interchange reconstruction project is scheduled to begin the week of Nov. 16. To safely access areas in the I-25 median to construct foundations for new the bridge over I-25, crews will narrow and shift I-25 travel lanes toward the outside of the roadway. This will allow crews to maintain four travel lanes in each direction on I-25 for most of the project. Nightly I-25 lane closures will be implemented from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m., starting Monday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. until Thursday, Nov. 19 at 6 a.m., to safely realign the travel lanes. Travelers will still be able to access and travel on I-25 during these temporary nightly lane closures. Happy Canyon Road travelers will continue to use the existing bridge to access to/from and over I-25 while this portion of the new bridge is constructed north of the existing bridge. This configuration will be in place until summer 2027. See map below for details. Want more information? Visit our project website at CastlePinesCO.gov/HCIntercha….

Voters support both Castle Pines ballot questions in unofficial election results Unofficial results from the November 3 election show Castle Pines voters favor both proposed changes to the City's Home Rule Charter. Both questions address annexation, the process of bringing land into a city's limits. Here's where things stand as of 9 a.m. on Wednesday, November 4: ▪️Ballot Question 300 – 71.6% Yes: Would require voter approval for certain future annexations involving more than 20 acres. ▪️Ballot Question 301 – 64.6% Yes: Would require voters to approve certain annexations involving more than 20 acres that occur within 180 days prior to the measure taking effect. These results are not yet final. Douglas County will continue counting eligible ballots before the election results are officially certified. View the latest results: douglasco.gov/elections/

Little trick-or-treaters will soon be out and about in Castle Pines. Whether you're hitting the sidewalks or heading out on the road, a few simple precautions can help keep Halloween fun and safe for everyone. Here are some helpful reminders. For trick-or-treaters: ✅ Cross streets at intersections and crosswalks. Look left, right, and left again before crossing. ✅ Put phones away, stay alert, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing. ✅ Use sidewalks whenever possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic. ✅ Never dart into the street or cross between parked cars. For drivers: ✅ Slow down and stay especially alert in residential neighborhoods. ✅ Watch carefully for children at intersections, near parked cars, and along sidewalks. ✅ Enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully. ✅ Put away phones and eliminate distractions. ✅ Turn headlights on early to improve visibility. Let's work together to keep Castle Pines safe this Halloween!
