Under Construction
Updated February 5, 2026
On Monday, February 16, 2026, the contractor will start to line the 90” storm sewer from Wildcat Reserve Parkway & University to the outfall north of Lark Sparrow Drive. The right turn lane from northbound Wildcat Reserve Parkway to eastbound University will be closed for approximately 6 weeks and the through lane will become the through/right turn lane during this time; and the sidewalk on the east side will also be closed. Pedestrians will need to cross from the east side of Wildcat Reserve Parkway to the west side at the signalized intersection south of the work zone which is Grace Boulevard/Cresthill Lane or cross to the west side of Wildcat Reserve Parkway to access Fallbrooke or to head south to Grace Boulevard. The contractor will also be staging on the north side of Lark Sparrow Dr and there will be a traffic shift there also, but lanes will remain open. Access to Eastridge Rec Center and Falcon Park will not be impacted.
Douglas County Engineering has started the maintenance phase of this project for the 54” Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) located along the front of the Northridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch, and the dual 126” CMP storm culverts that are located under Broadway at the Northridge Recreation Center. Northbound Broadway will be reduced to 2 lanes between Highlands Ranch Parkway and Northridge Drive. Broadway will be impacted starting Tuesday January 13, 2026, through Tuesday, January 20, 2026. Northridge Drive (at the Broadway intersection) will require a lane shift to allow for staging and access from Wednesday, January 21, 2026, through Friday March 20, 2026. The bike lanes and the southern sidewalk will be closed on Northridge Drive during this portion of the maintenance work.
