Special to CCN
On March 5, weather permitting, the Colorado Department of
Transportation will realign eastbound Arapahoe Road at Parker Road
to the north to accommodate the next phase of construction. The
realignment will require a full closure of eastbound and westbound
Arapahoe Road between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Realigning traffic usually takes about 10 to 12 hours to

which is an operation that must be done in warm, dry weather.
During the closure, the following detour routes will in place.
Access to all businesses near the interchange will remain open.
Eastbound Arapahoe Road Detour: Motorists on eastbound Arapahoe
Road will take a right onto Chambers Way and drive behind the
Cornerstar Mall to Parker Road.

Road will take Lewiston Way north around Arapahoe Crossing mall to
