Storm‑sewer Repairs Cut Venneford Ranch Road to One Lane Feb. 24–Mar. 3

A storm-sewer repair project at Venneford Ranch Road and Green Meadows Drive in Highlands Ranch will reduce Venneford Ranch Road to one lane with flaggers during business hours, Douglas County Public Works posted Feb. 19, 2026. The county scheduled the work to begin Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, and continue through Tuesday, March 3, 2026, and said Venneford Ranch Road is expected to be opened back up each night for the traveling public at 6 p.m.

Douglas County Public Works told residents to expect minimal travel disruption and stated, “There will be minimal delays.” The county notice also said, “We are not anticipating impacts to Green Meadows Drive, but this will be confirmed once the damaged pipe section location is exposed.” Flaggers will control the single lane during business hours; the notice does not specify the daily start time for work.

Traffic control during the repair window will rely on flaggers rather than a formal detour plan, the county update indicates. The project posting lists only lane reduction and nightly reopenings; it does not name a contractor, provide permit numbers, or state the linear feet or type of pipe to be repaired. Douglas County’s notice references “business hours” for the lane reductions but does not give a specific daily schedule beyond the 6 p.m. nightly reopening.

The county posted the item as a project update titled “Venneford Ranch Rd & Green Meadows Dr Storm Sewer Repair – posted Feb. 19, 2026.” The project page lists the project manager field as Various Project Managers and shows a concatenated status line reading Planning/DesignUnder Construction. The same Highlands Ranch project page also lists nearby efforts including Broadway and Highlands Ranch Parkway Intersection, County Line Road Widening & Reconstruction (University to Broadway), and County Line Road / Inverness Improvement Project as part of the county’s broader transportation work.

For questions about the Venneford Ranch Road repair schedule or traffic control, Douglas County provided Debbie Kula as the contact at dkula@douglas.co.us. The county posting does not include a contractor contact, weekend work detail, or the full parenthetical contingency that appeared truncated in the original short notice, so officials say they will confirm impacts to Green Meadows Drive once crews expose the damaged pipe section.

Residents who travel Venneford Ranch Road during weekday business hours between Feb. 24 and Mar. 3 should plan for single-lane traffic with flaggers in place and expect the roadway to be reopened to regular travel each night at 6 p.m., per the Douglas County Public Works update posted Feb. 19, 2026.
