Project: Charter Oak Ranch Road

From Road: I-25
To Road: Fort Carson Gate 19
Current Status: Closeout
Start: 01/03/2022
End: 2023

Project Details:

To accommodate Fort Carson’s ongoing expansion, El Paso County is working with the Army to improve the roadway infrastructure from I-25 to Gate 19 to access the base’s military training infrastructure. The roads leading to Gate 19 are in substandard condition and are unable to support expected traffic. The project will reconstruct Charter Oak Ranch Road and Santa Fe Avenue leading to Gate 19 at the Fort Carson Army Post.

Roadway Improvements: The road will be rebuilt and widened in the westbound direction from the intersection with Santa Fe Avenue to Gate 19. A roundabout will replace the four-way stop sign intersection with Santa Fe Avenue. Curb & gutter and sidewalk will be added along with improving an inadequate curve radius for this stretch. Turn lanes will be added for enhancing access to business and Fort Carson.

Drainage Improvements: This will entail replacement of existing features with new pipes, inlets, and water quality/detention features along various locations of the Charter Oak Ranch Road segment where roadway improvements are planned.

Structural Improvements: To accommodate the realignment and widening, retaining walls will be constructed to retain the associated embankments that will be constructed.

Safety Benefits: Improved Infrastructure, Enhance connectivity and efficiency for Charter Oak Ranch Road, the entry point to Fort Carson’s Gate 19 from the I-25 corridor.

Typical work hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Limited weekend or night work is possible. All work is dependent on weather and resource availability. The construction schedule is subject to change. Updates will be provided as the project progresses.
