Project Offices in Castle Rock
A temporary construction office for CDOT and its contractor partner, Kraemer North America, is located near the intersection of Crystal Valley Parkway and the I-25 east Frontage Road. Please watch for vehicles entering and exiting the site throughout the duration of construction. Upon project completion, the area will be returned to its previous state; the asphalt will be removed and the area will be re-graded and seeded.
Safety for drivers and workers is our top priority during construction.
