Beginning in March 2025, the Colorado Department of Transportation will start a new project in Woodland Park. The project consists of widening and making mobility and safety improvements to a section of CO 67 in Woodland Park, northeast of Colorado Springs. Work includes widening CO 67 from County Road (Evergreen Heights) to Kelley’s Road from two to four lanes with a shared turn lane. Stone Ridge Drive will also experience a closure period for this project to be completed. That closure is scheduled to begin Monday, May 5, 2025, and last approximately four weeks. Other work sitewide includes:
- Building raised medians near major intersections.
- Installing new pedestrian facilities
- Adding signal heads to Kelley’s Road
- Making drainage and safety improvements
