Planning/Design
The project is currently in the planning and design phase. Survey work and the geotechnical investigation are complete. The design engineer and County staff are evaluating concept designs. When a roadway layout is selected, the consultant will continue with the roadway and drainage design. Constructed is anticipated for 2027.
The virtual open house is now live! This website will allow us to share more information and will give the public the opportunity to engage with the project. As the project develops, we will add information, photos, and maps to the virtual open house.
The Grigs Road Phase 2 project is the final phase of improvements to approximately one mile of Grigs Road, extending from the current roadway improvements near Daniels Park Road to the future entrance of Wildcat Regional Park. The goal of the project is to improve safety for everyone who uses the corridor while preserving access to nearby recreational amenities.
The proposed roadway would remain a two-lane road but would be reconstructed as a 24-foot-wide asphalt roadway with curb and gutter, improved drainage, and safety enhancements. The design also addresses the existing sharp curves and steep grades near the trailhead to improve visibility and provide a safer driving experience. A roundabout is proposed at the future entrance to Wildcat Regional Park to help manage traffic and improve access to the park.
Douglas County Engineering staff is managing the project and is collaborating with staff from the Highlands Ranch Metro District and the Highlands Ranch Community Association.
