Highway 105 Speed Limit Reduced

Starting Friday, May 3, the speed limit on westbound and eastbound Hwy105, for the entirety of the project, will be reduced to 20mph for the continued safety of the construction crews as well as for the traveling public.

Throughout the duration of the project please be aware that roads will periodically be reduced to one lane with alternating traffic movements using traffic control flaggers.

We thank you for your continued patience and dedication to safe driving throughout the duration of this project. Please remain alert to other vehicles and adhere to traffic regulations.

Alternate routes suggested during Monument Academy student drop off/pick up times

We understand that Monument Academy student drop-off and pick-up times can cause traffic delays. To ensure a smoother experience for non-school traffic, we recommend finding an alternate route, if possible, that avoids this particular area during these times:

Mondays – Thursdays: 7 – 8:30 a.m. and 2:45 – 4 p.m.

Fridays: 7 – 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

The estimated schedule is based on the best information available at this time and is weather and resource-dependent.

We are continually monitoring traffic control and making changes as needed to minimize impacts as much as possible.

Construction of Hwy. 105 improvements will continue early into 2025.

MULTIPLE ROADWAY AND UTILITY PROJECTS

There are multiple roadway and utility projects both underway and planned for this area of the community being led by different jurisdictions. The project teams are coordinating efforts to minimize impacts to the traveling public as much as is possible. ALTERNATE ROUTES, IF POSSIBLE, ARE HIGHLY ADVISED.

Highway 105A Construction (Project B) – El Paso County (Construction duration: July 24, 2023 – expected to continue into 2025)

The project extends the 4-lane section of Highway 105 just east of Jackson Creek Parkway to Lake Woodmoor Drive, providing for greater mobility by accommodating more traffic. The new configuration will be two lanes in each direction with left and right turn lanes. The project also includes multi-use shoulders and pedestrian improvements, sidewalk connectivity, replacement of the traffic signal at Knollwood Boulevard, a new underground drainage system, and water quality pond, and a new roundabout at the Knollwood/Village Ridge Point intersection. The new roundabout coupled with new queuing lanes being constructed by Monument Academy are designed to keep traffic moving and reduce the traffic backups on Highway 105 that have previously occurred in this area.
