We’re excited to share that the newly reconstructed westbound section of Castle Pines Parkway between Monarch Boulevard and Deer Clover Drive is now open to traffic, including the section in front of Timber Trail Elementary.

The reopening marks an important milestone in the 2026 Castle Pines Parkway reconstruction project. Crews have completed paving and striping on this portion of the roadway, providing a newly improved driving surface for residents, families, and visitors traveling through the area. The Castle Pines North Metropolitan District has also completed its waterline infrastructure replacement under this section of roadway.

Work will continue on the remaining section of Castle Pines Parkway, between Deer Clover Drive and Buffalo Trail, into early fall. At the Deer Clover Drive intersection, westbound traffic will shift back onto the existing eastbound lanes while crews complete this phase of construction.

Thank you to our community for your patience throughout construction. The entire project remains on schedule for completion by early fall.

Visit CastlePinesCO.gov/CPP for additional project information and updates.
