CDOT to Host Public Meetings Highlighting I-25 South Gap Project Environmental Assessment

May 14, 2018 -


DENVER—
One month after it released the I-25 South Gap: Monument to Castle Rock Environmental Assessment (EA) for public comment, CDOT will present the project's preferred alternative and findings of the EA, and solicit public comment at two public hearings:

5:30-7:30 p.m.
Monday, May 14, 2018
Douglas County Fairgrounds Event Center
500 Fairgrounds Drive
Castle Rock

5:30-7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, May 16, 2018
Liberty High School
8720 Scarborough Drive
Colorado Springs


The EA document details multiple study findings conducted throughout this project and recognizes the preferred alternative.

CDOT proposes to expand I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock by:

  • adding a new tolled Express Lane in each direction;
  • widening shoulders;
  • replacing outdated infrastructure and addressing design deficiencies of the aging roadway;
  • adding wildlife underpasses; and
  • modernizing the facility with improved drainage, lighting, communications, power, and signage.

All improvements are planned within CDOT's right-of-way; no property acquisition is anticipated.

The EA is available for public review on the project website.
