Project Begins To Ease Congestion On Meadows Parkway In Castle Rock
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (CBS4)- The Colorado Department of Transportation began a project this week to ease congestion on Meadows Parkway between The Meadows and Interstate 25 in Castle Rock.
The $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 is scheduled to be completed 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, in a statement. "We are ensuring that impacts will be minor to alleviate headaches to drivers."
CDOT said impacts to travel will be minimal and although lane closures can be expected, two lanes of traffic in each direction during peak travel times. The new configuration will allow for two lanes of traffic to access I-25 from eastbound Meadows Parkway.
