Updated December 17, 2025:
Construction activity will continue along County Line Road over the next few weeks. Work will primarily take place along the shoulder as crews work on the northern project limits, with minimal to no impact on traffic. Construction hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Saturday work is possible if approved by the Douglas County Engineer.
Upcoming Driveway Work at Phillips Avenue
Crews will begin driveway and sidewalk improvements along Phillips Avenue this week. Please note the following for this area:
- Barriers will be installed along the shoulder to protect the work zone, and barrels will be used to direct traffic to one lane in each direction, providing more room in the work area. The right turn lane from Phillips onto County Line will be temporarily closed for the duration of this work.
- Demolition of existing sidewalks begins Wednesday, Dec. 17, with concrete pouring tentatively scheduled for Monday, Dec. 22. Once poured, the concrete requires a minimum 7-day curing period. The driveway and sidewalk access will remain closed until the work is complete and the concrete has reached full strength.
- The existing fence will remain in place until the new gate is ready for installation.

100-Day Closure of County Line Road
Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2026, County Line Road will be fully closed for approximately 100 days between Clarkson Street and the U-Haul business access. This closure is required for crews to safely import, move and place large quantities of dirt, equal to filling 40,000 washing machines, at Lee Gulch. The fill operations, which are a key component of the widening and reconstruction work, will level out the roadway by removing the dip at Lee Gulch, improving drainage, driver line of sight and overall public safety.
Detours and Access:
Businesses: Business access will remain open via County Line Road.
- Use University Boulevard to reach businesses east of the closure.
- Use Broadway to reach businesses west of the closure.
Residents: Residential access to Clarkson Street will be maintained via Dry Creek and County Line roads.
Commuters: For through trips on County Line Road, use C-470 between University Boulevard and Broadway to navigate around the closure.
Detour Map Detour map for the 100-day closure of County Line Road. Use C-470, University Boulevard, Broadway, Dry Creek Road, and County Line Road to access your destination.
Although crews will not work 24/7, the road cannot be reopened during off-hours due to significant earthwork and unsafe travel conditions during this phase.
