CONSTRUCTION UPDATE - NEW
Overnight work scheduled this week
December 7, 2021

The Centennial Boulevard Extension project is providing connection between Fillmore Street
and the Interstate 25 / Fontanero Street interchange. Portions of the corridor have been
constructed, or partially constructed, through past developments and City projects.
This new phase of the project completes the roadway connection. 
Overnight hauling operations in progress this week
The large grading operation in preparation for the new Centennial Boulevard roadway beginning at the north end of the project near Fillmore Street and working south will be taking
advantage of the warm weather to haul off excess dirt over the next three nights.

The operation is scheduled for Mon. - Thurs., Dec. 6 - 9, running from 9 p.m. - 4 a.m.

The overnight operation will involve some noise as heavy equipment moves and hauls away the excess dirt. Crews have been advised to take extra precautions to minimize backing up functions (beeping noise) and keep lights pointed downward to minimize noise from lights.

We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your cooperation in this short-term endeavor.
Construction Impacts

  • Dirt removal/hauling overnight, Dec. 6 - 9, Mon. - Thurs. from 9 p.m. - 4 a.m.

  • Curb and gutter work on Centennial Boulevard from Fillmore Street to Mesa Valley Road continues through December.

  • Hikers, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to use only designated trails during construction.

  • Motorists are advised to take alternate routes as needed.
Background
The extension of Centennial Boulevard has been planned by the City of Colorado Springs for more than 30 years. The City reclassified the Centennial Boulevard extension as a four-lane minor arterial, through the City's 2001 Intermodal Transportation Plan. The $20 million project is being funded through the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA).

What to expect upon completion
A four-lane road extension from the Centennial Boulevard / Fillmore Street intersection to the I-25 / Fontanero Street interchange. During the design process, the City engaged the community for input on landscaping, wall treatments, lighting, drainage, pedestrian crossings for access to the park and open space, a concrete sidewalk/multi-use path, and on-street bike lanes along both sides of Centennial Boulevard. 

The anticipated completion date for the project is Fall 2022.
