1 Custer Road bond project
Work has begun on the Custer Road improvement project, one of the last 2015 bond program projects awaiting completion. Various lane closures are expected throughout this year on Custer between Arapaho Road and Campbell Road as the street is transformed from its current lane design to a new configuration with one northbound lane, one southbound lane, a continuous left-turn lane in the center, a dedicated at-grade bike lane in each direction and 5-foot sidewalks on each side. In addition, a pedestrian crossing at Northrich Elementary School will be enhanced with a raised median island and rectangular rapid flashing beacons.
