Parker Road lane closures planned over next three months

The contractor, Aggregate Industries, will then scrape off the top layer of asphalt on the northbound and southbound lanes of South Parker Road between Lincoln Avenue and Cottonwood Drive and repave through early August. Lane and intersection closures are being planned for non-peak traffic hours to minimize the impact on commuters, said John Lehner, representative for Aggregate Industries.

Two of the three lanes will be shut down from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Construction managers are advising motorists to take alternate routes, however, traffic is not a problem on South Parker Road during late hours and it would likely take just as long to drive to a detour, Lehner said.

The main intersections along Parker Road that will be affected by the nightly work are E-470, Crown Crest Boulevard, Pine Lane, Silverado, Ponderosa and Lincoln Avenue.

At a price of $4 million, not including design costs, it’s one of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s larger projects in the Town of Parker in recent years.
