CDOT I-25 Rehabilitation and Wildlife Fencing Project Update
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) project team is working to complete the wildlife fencing installation on both the east and west sides of I-25 between Castle Rock Parkway and RidgeGate Parkway. The fencing portion is finalized and crews will be finishing game ramps and other miscellaneous items in the next several weeks.
Infrastructure of this nature is an important addition to the area, as it is anticipated to significantly reduce the amount of wildlife-related incidents, decrease property damage, and help preserve important elk herds. Colorado Parks and Wildlife and CDOT will continue to monitor wildlife-vehicle collisions as well as the health and safety of the wildlife living in the area throughout the winter and spring.
