Project Overview

The City of Castle Pines and Castle Pines North Metro District are partnering on this joint infrastructure project to rebuild a half-mile segment of Castle Pines Parkway and replace the existing water main between Yorkshire Drive and Monarch Boulevard starting June 21, 2021. This project is just the first major component in the rehabilitation of the City's two major roads!

Project Improvements for Better Mobility and Safety:

Reconstruction of this stretch of roadway will replace crumbling infrastructure with a new asphalt roadway to serve the community for years.
Removal and replacement of aging curb and gutter to create a safer ride for bicyclists.
Installing 6' bicycle lanes in both directions.
The existing sidewalk on the north side of the parkway will be rebuilt and a new, detached 8' wide sidewalk installed.
All new ADA pedestrian curb ramps will be constructed providing better access for people with disabilities.

Schedule:

We understand that it might seem like progress is slow to be made, but we want you to know that our crews are working diligently on the northside of the road to install a new 12” underground waterline service from Yorkshire to Monarch. Once this waterline is installed, the crews can complete the remaining reconstruction of the road. Additionally, a new storm system is being installed which includes three new inlets, two new outfalls, and reinforced concrete pipe. These operations involve excavation, installation of trench boxes, laying of pipe at a minimum of 5’ below the surface, testing the piping system, and then back fill and compaction. This work can be performed with large equipment which is easier to spot than the hand work required subsurface.

The reconstruction work has encountered some minor utility conflicts that can cause some delays, however, the remaining work and completion of the project is still on schedule to be completed December 2021, weather dependent of course.
