2025 Project Information

Each year, the City begins a refresh of neighborhood streets that helps extend the life of roadway infrastructure throughout Castle Pines. This effort, known as the Pavement Maintenance Program, is a strategic, proactive approach to extending the lifespan of roadways while minimizing the cost of maintaining road surfaces.

The community is divided into regions to focus on each year, and using several software systems, staff analyzes which roads should be addressed and which repair method should be used.

Areas Identified for Improvement

The primary areas of focus this year include the Winter Berry, Serena, Tapadero, and Topaz Vista neighborhoods. Unless notified otherwise, all resident access will be maintained throughout construction. Click on the map below to view an interactive dashboard with information on this year's identified improvements. Residents will be notified via a door hanger or flyer before work begins on their particular street.

Project Schedule

• Start date: July 8, 2025
• Completion date: Fall 2025 (improvements at each location will typically only last a couple of days or less)

Road Improvement Methods

Patching

When the entire area does not need to be replaced, patching is used to repair localized damage in asphalt surfaces. It is used below other surface treatments when the damage is deeper, and is a cost-effective way to fix specific issues and extend the life of the pavement.

Crack Sealing

When water infiltrates cracks, it can weaken the base and sub-base layers, leading to more severe pavement issues. Crack sealing is used to keep water and debris out of pavement cracks by filling these cracks with a hot, rubberized sealant to create a barrier against moisture. This preserves the structural integrity of the pavement.

Slurry Seal

A slurry seal is a cost-effective maintenance treatment for asphalt pavements, used to extend their lifespan by sealing cracks, restoring flexibility, and improving skid resistance. It's a mix of emulsified asphalt, water, fine aggregate, and additives that's applied to the existing pavement surface.

Mill and Overlay

Often done to remove irregularities, adjust the grade, or fix damage like ruts or cracks, this method removes the top layer of a paved surface to prepare it for resurfacing or repair. The milled asphalt can then be recycled and used in new paving projects.
