The contractor, West Fork Construction, completed the paving and opened the project area to two-way traffic on Friday, May 23, 2025. The majority of the project has been completed, however, there are some final outstanding items that will occur behind the guardrails during the week of May 27th (seed and blanket installation). There will be minimal traffic impacts.
Construction started on Monday, April 14, 2025, to upgrade portions of the current bridge and repair the pavement where the bridge meets the roadway on the Hess Road Bridge.
The Hess Road over Access Road Bridge Improvements Project involves the rehabilitation of approximately 258 feet of bridge structure and roadway over an existing access road. Planned improvements include the removal of portions of the existing structure, asphalt milling, joint sealant replacement, expansion device installation, waterproofing membrane application, hot mix asphalt paving, concrete patching, erosion control measures, and traffic control operations, along with other associated work.
Construction started in early April 2025; anticipated completion is scheduled for end of May 2025.
The County also anticipates rehabilitation of the Hess Road over Wildlife Crossing Bridge Douhess-0.65 in 2026. This structure is located west of the Access Road Bridge and east of the I-25 and Castle Pines interchange. The same detour and construction phasing will be used for both projects.
