Pine Drive: still closed Ponderosa to Lincoln, open Sundays

Douglas County's Oct. 29 update says Pine Drive stays closed between Ponderosa Drive and Lincoln Avenue for storm drainage work, reopening on Sundays. Detours use Ponderosa, Parker Road (Colorado 83) and Lincoln Avenue, and Saturday work from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. may happen if approved.

The county now estimates about a week, down from about two weeks in its Oct. 23 notice. Local access to Sierra Middle School and AdventHealth Parker stays open, so you can still drive in from the open end.
