Happy Canyon Road and Lagae Road Intersection
Project Overview
One of the 2024 Road Solutions projects, is the construction of improvements to the Lagae Road and Happy Canyon Road intersection. Project improvements will include:
-
- A roundabout at the intersection of Lagae Road and Happy Canyon Road
- Safety and traffic flow efficiency improvements
This work will be completed as a part of an early action item for the eventual improvements to the I-25 and Happy Canyon Road bridge and interchange. The roundabout will tie into the eventual final construction of the bridge/interchange project.
If you have questions about the project, please email HCRoundabout@castlepinesco.gov or call 303-705-0200.
Schedule
- 2023 - design and engineering services completed
- January 2024 - contract awarded for construction services
- Late February 2024 - construction anticipated to begin
- July 2024 - anticipated project completion
Traffic Impacts
To complete construction as quickly as possible and to maintain safety for workers and the traveling public, a road closure will be in place during construction. Lagae Road, between Happy Canyon Road and Chase Lane, will be closed beginning Saturday, Feb. 24. Detours will be in place via Castle Pines Parkway to access I-25 or Happy Canyon Road. Please follow construction signage and drive safely.
Detour
During the Lagae Road closure between Happy Canyon Road and Chase Lane, traffic will be detoured north to Castle Pines Parkway to access I-25. See the detour route map for details.

Funding
The total budget for the project is $5.35 million with Douglas County contributing $1.5 million and the City contributing $3.85 million.
These project totals include realigning a portion of the existing Happy Canyon Road located within unincorporated Douglas County, constructing a roundabout on Lagae Road, constructing the east/west leg that connects directly from the proposed roundabout to the existing I-25 / Happy Canyon Road Interchange, constructing stormwater facilities, and making minor modifications to the segment of Lagae Road located immediately to the north of the roundabout. Some of these roadway modifications are being completed as early action items for the eventual reconstruction of the Happy Canyon and I-25 interchange.
