May 12, 2023 – El Paso County and the Town of Monument are co-hosting a Public Open House for two upcoming roadway projects:

The El Paso County Highway 105A Project is scheduled to start construction this summer and is 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. It includes widening and reconstruction of that section of Highway 105, new curb and gutter, two retaining walls, intersection improvements, new roundabout at Knollwood Drive/Village Ridge Point intersection, traffic signal replaced at Knollwood Drive, a new underground drainage system, sidewalk connectivity, and a water quality pond.

In addition:

  • Monument Academy will construct new queuing lanes on the school property site north of Highway 105.
  • The Monument Junction developer will construct improvements at the Highway 105/CO-105/Jackson Creek Parkway intersection including a second westbound left turn lane on Highway 105 to southbound Jackson Creek Parkway.

The Town of Monument’s Jackson Creek Parkway Widening Project is currently under design with construction anticipated to begin in early 2024.

This project will expand Jackson Creek Parkway from one lane in each direction to two lanes in each direction (from Higby Road north to Highway 105), extending the four-lane configuration. Also included are drainage improvements, median landscaping, pedestrian and bike pathways, and “Gateway” treatments.
