Furrow Road

From Road: Lamplight Rd/ Minglewood Trail

To Road: Minglewood Trail (north)

Start: 2022

End: 2026

Project Details: Design and Construction of roadway improvements

Project Information:

In 2021, El Paso County performed a safety analysis of Furrow Road between Highway 105 and Higby Road that included the connection at Lamplight Drive/Minglewood Trail, in unincorporated northern El Paso County. The analysis provided recommendations for long-term safety improvements along this corridor. To support and encourage safety, the County determined that Furrow Road would not be opened to through traffic until safety improvements were made.

To accommodate the demand for additional travel route options through this area, El Paso County implemented interim safety measures that reflect the principles used in designing the permanent improvements. The existing roadway between Higby Road and Highway 105 was striped to establish 11-foot travel lanes and create a 3-foot buffer zone and additional traffic signs were installed to guide current and future road users. This interim safety plan enabled the County to connect Furrow Road from Hwy 105 to Higby Road while maintaining overall traffic operations and safety along the corridor.
In September 2025, the County reconstructed Furrow Road between Minglewood Trail (north) and Lamplight Drive/Minglewood Trail and provided 11-foot travel lanes and a separate 6-foot-wide non-motorized facility on the west side of Furrow Road.

While accounted for in the overall design, the traffic circles have been deferred. El Paso County maintains the traffic circles as an option and will continue to monitor the roadway traffic speeds and volumes to determine if future improvements are warranted.

This approach optimizes safety, mobility, and financial needs.
