A New Way of Looking at Roads
A N E W W A Y O F L O O K I N G A T R O A D S
One of the great things about being a part of the Department of Public Works is the ability to see all of the awesome changes that take place in the county on a daily basis. From concrete and paving to various types of seal work, these jobs help improve our roadways and make it safer for everyone to travel. And now, there's a great way for you to keep up with all of the work we're doing!
Introducing... the Street Resurfacing Projects Public Map! (No need to contain the oohs and aahs, we know how exciting this is)
The Streets Resurfacing Projects Public Map provides an interactive display of ongoing construction maintenance projects throughout El Paso County. Formerly, this kind of information was mainly accessible in tabular form through the Engineering Cone Zone updates, but this map allows citizens to readily and more easily see where the Department of Public Works projects are planned, in construction, or complete. Additionally, citizens can see the type of work (concrete, paving, seal work, etc.), commissioner district, which contractor is doing the work, and the estimated start and completion dates. It's like you're sitting in Interim Director Jack Ladley's chair!
If you want to check out the map for yourself, you can find it right in the middle of our Public Works webpage, or if you digital readers prefer convenience, simply click here!
