El Paso County \u2014 The Colorado Department of Transportation and contract partner, Schmidt Construction Company, completed resurfacing along Colorado Highway 115 in El Paso County. The project improved six miles of CO 115 from Nelson Boulevard, at Fort Carson Gate 1, to Brookside Street, south of Interstate 25 in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis busy section of CO 115 is essential to local residents and commuters,\u201d said CDOT Region Transportation Director Shane Ferguson. \u201cMotorists and pedestrians can now expect significantly smoother pavement and enhanced safety throughout the project zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Work included asphalt overlay paving, guardrail replacement, pedestrian signal updates and curb ramp replacement to comply with Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines. These improvements ensure all current standards are met on Americans with Disabilities ramps, and will enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility.<\/p>\n

The new asphalt will extend the life of the road surface, offering a safer, more comfortable driving experience.<\/p>\n
