COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — As we head in to 2025, the City of Colorado Springs is about to start some more 2C roadwork projects. We want to give you a heads up on where that work will be happening.
The city says they have a comprehensive year-by-year plan that uses a data-driven model that rates road pavement conditions.
According to this map from the City of Colorado Springs, most of the work in 2025 will be on the west side of I-25.
You can see the 2025 projects in yellow.
In 2026, the city will move on to the roads highlighted in pink.
Then the roads highlighted in brown will be fixed in 2027.
The money comes from a nearly six-cent sales tax. The 2C initiative was set to expire in 2025 but voters approved extending the tax for another 10 years. I talked to drivers near Cheyenne Blvd, one of the upcoming 2C projects. People there tell me they’re happy to hear about the work.
"Well, it’s a thoroughfare. There’s a lot of traffic." Says Beth D'Angelo. She adds "There’s a lot of commerce that’s over here so I would think that this would be a good place to focus a lot of the efforts on keeping the roadway safe and keeping the cars in good condition."
The City of Colorado Springs says it costs $140,000 to pave one lane mile of a city street. If you notice a pothole, you can report it to the city with the free Go COS app.
We’ll keep our eye on these 2C projects and let you know how they turn out.
