Phase 2 anticipated construction costs are fully funded by Sterling Ranch CAB and Sterling Ranch Development Company for a total of $16,130,082. The County will be responsible for the construction management of the project. Phase 2 of the project is completed and now open as of October 14, 2022.
Waterton Rd – Phase 1 of the project was completed and open to the public Aug. 7, 2020, and included the construction of a 2.8-mile minor arterial two-lane roadway between Airport Road and Moore Road, four bridges, drainage facilities, and fencing. There are four bridges on the Project that were designed for elk crossing since the roadway crosses the County’s major wildlife corridor between the Pike National Forest and the Highland Ranch OSCA. There are two, single-span bridges and two, three-span bridges. The Indian Creek Bridge on the east end of the project has a total bridge length of 410 feet. The completed roadway will have two 12-foot lanes with paved shoulders.
