Colorado Springs reveals preliminary 2027 street repaving list for 12th year of 2C program
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Less than two weeks after declaring the end of this year’s street repaving, officials shared their preliminary 2027 list with KRDO 13’s The Road Warrior.
Ten streets are on the list so far, most of them major or secondary streets; we don’t know yet whether the entire length of selected streets will be repaved, or just segments of them.
The street likely needing new asphalt the most, is Galley Road — stretching more than four miles, from Circle Drive to Powers Boulevard.
Since “The Road Warrior” coverage began in February 2024, there have been several projects requiring excavations into the pavement: A culvert repair under the Galley/Wooten Road intersection, and a bridge replacement several blocks to the west.
Both of those excavated areas have been repaved, and many drivers hope the rest of Galley will look as good.
Galley has had other excavations for a water main replacement, a water main break, and a water valve repair.
Other streets on the list include Voyager Parkway; the Voyager/North Gate Boulevard on the north end of the street was repaved last month, and Voyager between there and its southern end at Academy Boulevard has cracked and crumbling pavement.
Another street to be repaved is Fillmore Street, one of the city’s most congested; the worst segment appears to be between Interstate 25 and Union Boulevard; crews are already doing concrete work to prepare for new asphalt.
Officials emphasize that the preliminary paving list is subject to change, and work on the listed streets have yet to be considered for bids by contractors.
As we approach the 12th year of the 2C expanded street paving program — financed by a voter-approved sales tax increase — many residents hope it’s the year that their street will be improved.
