42nd Street westbound to be closed beginning Monday, July 14
Beginning on Monday, July 14, both westbound lanes of 42nd Street/Prairie View Drive will be closed from east of 23rd Ave. to 35th Ave. while crews work on a full-depth reconstruction of the roadway and adjoining curb and gutter as part of the 2025 Major Roads Projects. Please see the map included on this page.
The westbound lanes of 42nd Street/Prairie View Drive will not be accessible from 23rd Avenue, 29th Avenue, Harbor Lane, or Eagles Nest Drive. Access to The Ridge at Prairie View neighborhood will only be available via eastbound 42nd Street at Harbor Lane and Blue Bells Drive. Cave Creek access will be available likewise only on eastbound 42nd Street/Prairie View Drive at Cedar Lane. Motorists exiting Cave Creek and The Ridge at Prairie View neighborhoods who want to travel west will need to detour east down 42nd Street/Prairie View Drive to 17th Avenue and travel north to 37th Street and then turn westbound. Access to and from Cave Creek will be available at 35th Avenue via Sagebrush Boulevard. Access to 42nd Street/Prairie View Drive from the east will be available at 17th Avenue and Carson Avenue.
We understand the closure of this major east-west thoroughfare will be a hassle for members of the community, we ask that you please be patient while we complete this major upgrade to the Evans' street network.
Barring any unforeseen setbacks, work is expected to last four to six weeks. Following completion of work on the westbound lanes, work will shift to the eastbound lanes and closures and detours will be in place. We will provided regular updates on progress on this project here on the City of Evans website as well as on our social media channels. If you have any questions about this project, please contact the City of Evans during regular business hours at (970) 475-1170 or at info@evanscolorado.gov.
