🚧 Traffic Alert: Highway 119 Utility Work Continues Through June 12 🚧

ESCO crews will continue work on Highway 119 between Apex Road and Paradise Valley Road through Friday, June 12, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

As part of this project, crews are grouting manholes along the roadway. Short-duration, single-lane closures may be needed at times. Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic, and emergency responders will be able to pass through as needed.

Motorists should expect minor delays and use caution when traveling through the work zone.

At this time, this work is only scheduled through next week. While CDOT and ESCO are continuing discussions regarding additional repairs in the area, no future lane closure plans or permits have been approved at this time.

Thank you for your patience as this work is completed.

The next election in Colorado is the State Primary on Tuesday, June 30.

Here’s what voters need to know:
✔️ Only voters affiliated with a participating party — or voters who are unaffiliated — can vote in the primary election.
✔️ This June, the Republican, Democratic, Unity, and Libertarian parties are holding primaries.
✔️ Voters affiliated with other parties, such as the Green Party or American Constitution Party, will not receive a ballot.
✔️ Any voter wishing to change their party affiliation must do so by June 8.

📬 Ballots will begin mailing locally on June 8.
Unaffiliated voters will receive both a Republican and Democratic ballot, but you may only return ONE ballot. Returning more than one ballot will invalidate both.

Make sure you’re ready to vote by checking your registration and updating your information at GoVoteColorado.gov.
