Colorado Springs reported 147 lane miles of paving across 119 road segments during the 2026 season, putting work under the voter-approved 2C program 17% above its original plan. The city released the figures Oct. 28.
Completed work included South Circle Drive from the Circle Drive Bridge to Airport Road, Union Boulevard between Austin Bluffs Parkway and North Academy Boulevard, and Palmer Park Boulevard from North Academy to Circle Drive. Another South Circle segment, between Interstate 25 and the bridge, was being coordinated with a Utilities waterline project.
The road program also pays for adjoining curbs, gutters, sidewalks and pedestrian ramps. Voters renewed its existing sales-tax rate in November 2024, extending the funding through 2035. The city estimated that renewed program would represent $820 million in road investment over ten years; that is the longer program estimate, not the cost of this season’s 147 lane miles.
