Updated Jan. 13, 2026
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.
