The Colorado Department of Transportation announced on Mar. 18 that it has completed a resurfacing project along Colorado Highway 115 in El Paso County. The work covered six miles from Nelson Boulevard at Fort Carson Gate 1 to Brookside Street, just south of Interstate 25 in Colorado Springs.
This section of highway is important for local residents and commuters who use the route daily. The improvements are expected to make travel smoother and safer for both motorists and pedestrians throughout the area.
“This busy section of CO 115 is essential to local residents and commuters,” said CDOT Region Transportation Director Shane Ferguson. “Motorists and pedestrians can now expect significantly smoother pavement and enhanced safety throughout the project zone.”
According to the official website, the Colorado Department of Transportation works to improve quality of life for state residents through integrated transportation solutions. The department aims to deliver an effective multi-modal transportation system that safely moves people, goods, and information while also enhancing environmental standards in Colorado, as reported by its official website.
Shoshana Lew serves as executive director for the agency, according to its official website. The department oversees transportation infrastructure across Colorado—including interstates, U.S. highways, state highways—and administers grants related to aviation and transit programs as outlined on its official website. It operates within the transportation sector with a focus on highway maintenance as well as support for aviation and transit projects, according to information provided by its official website.
