Vollmer Road reopens the week of May 15 with active traffic signal

The Black Forest Road widening project will reach a milestone the week of May 15 with the reopening of the intersection at Black Forest and Vollmer roads, pending weather delays. The interim layout includes a left turn lane from westbound Vollmer Road to southbound Black Forest Road, and a left turn lane from southbound Black Forest Road to Vollmer Road. These movements will both become dual left turn lanes when the project is complete in 2024. 

Please Pay Attention: For the past three months while work was underway at the intersection of Vollmer and Black Forest roads, traffic has not had to stop. When Vollmer Road reopens to traffic the week of May 15, the traffic signals will be active, so motorists are asked to pay attention.

Access at Copper Peak Point remains closed

While Vollmer Road will reopen the week of May 15, the access at Copper Peak Point will remain closed indefinitely for the safety of the traveling public and construction team.

Closures of Cowpoke Road start (west of Black Forest Road

the day following the May reopening of Vollmer Road; east of Black Forest Road early June)

• After reopening Vollmer Road, the project will shift its focus to critical intersection work at Cowpoke Road beginning the following day with a closure on Cowpoke Road west of Black Forest Road to Gray Ghost Drive for approximately three weeks.

Detour: During this closure, eastbound Cowpoke Road traffic headed toward Black Forest Road will be detoured south on Tutt Boulevard, then east on Woodmen Road. Westbound Cowpoke Road traffic from Black Forest Road will be detoured south to westbound Woodmen Road, then to northbound Tutt Boulevard.
