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.

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.

In 2026, 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.
