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:
Mini Circular Intersections (traffic circles) will be constructed at the intersections of Furrow Road and Minglewood Trail (north) and Furrow Road and Lamplight Drive/Minglewood Trail. Construction will begin the week of August 10th with an expected construction duration of 2 weeks, weather and resource dependent. Furrow Road, between Highway 105 and Higby Rd is planned to be closed to through traffic starting August 11th or August 12th and should be open the evening of Friday, August 14th, weather and resource dependent. The signed detour will be Fairplay Rd for through traffic. One intersection will be closed at a time. Local traffic will be allowed but movement through the closed intersections will not be allowed.
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.
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.
