We are pleased to announce the completion of the Monarch Boulevard reconstruction project! This marks a major milestone in the City's Road Solutions initiative.

All driving lanes on Monarch Boulevard and Buffalo Trail will be open to traffic by tomorrow afternoon (Friday, November 14). In the coming weeks, crews will conduct some minor final tasks, including cleanup activities. Lanes will remain open to traffic during this work. Landscaping installation will be ongoing, as weather permits, and is expected to be completed next year.

This year's project delivered significant infrastructure and safety improvements, including:

• Construction of the new roundabout at Buffalo Trail and Monarch Boulevard
• 2,000 feet of roadway improvements along Monarch Boulevard
• 1,700 feet of new water line installation in partnership with the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District
• Six-foot bike lanes to enhance multimodal connectivity
• Stormwater system upgrades and safety enhancements

These improvements create smoother, safer, and more reliable travel for all who live, work, and drive in Castle Pines. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout the construction process.

For more information about the project, please visit CastlePinesCO.gov/Monarch. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us at monarch@castlepinesco.gov or call 303-705-0200.

Thank you for your continued support as we invest in safer and stronger streets for our community.
