El Paso County, CO – A new road improvement project will begin Monday, Dec. 1, at the intersection of Meridian Road and Flower Road, according to El Paso County’s Department of Public Works. Crews will add new left-turn lanes to improve safety and traffic flow, with work expected to last 15 working days, weather permitting.
According to the county, the project supports ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility and reliability along local roadways. Both northbound and southbound Meridian Road traffic will face detours during construction.
For northbound drivers heading toward Walmart, detours will route vehicles along Rolling Thunder Way, Foxtail Meadow Drive, and Meridian Market View.
For southbound drivers, alternate routes include Rolling Thunder Way, McLaughlin Road, and Flower Road back to Meridian.
Officials urge drivers to reduce speed, remain alert near work zones, and watch for flaggers and barricades.
El Paso County officials thanked residents for their patience as crews complete this safety-focused upgrade.
