CONSTRUCTION ADVISORY
October 26, 2021
Milling and Paving operations scheduled as part of
Centennial Boulevard Extension

The Centennial Boulevard Extension project will provide 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. 
Milling asphalt scheduled October 27 - 29
Asphalt milling is scheduled for a section of Centennial Boulevard from Fillmore Street to Mesa Valley Road, Wednesday, Oct. 27 to Friday, Oct. 29, each day from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.

The work will be done one lane at a time in each direction in order to maintain access to businesses throughout the process. Access to the VA Hospital and Olson Plumbing & Heating Co. will be open throughout the duration of the paving process.

All work is weather and resource dependent.
Residents asked to use only designated trails as construction continues
A large amount of earth-moving activity is taking place throughout the project area. When activity increases, so does the level of curiosity.

Maintaining a safe work environment is the primary focus as crews continue building the new extension of Centennial Boulevard.

One primary safety measure is that the public should use only officially recognized trails and access those trails only at designated signed access points. Helping inform and educate neighbors, hikers and bicyclists to abide the signage is crucial. This is for the protection of the public as well as construction workers.

Your on-going cooperation in this matter is appreciated,
Ongoing Construction Impacts

  • One lane will be closed in each direction on Centennial Boulevard from Fillmore Street to Mesa Valley Road for milling operations, Wednesday, Oct. 27 to Friday, Oct. 29, 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.
  • 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
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.
