Castle Pines' Happy Canyon road project wins Best of Colorado paving award
Summary
The Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association honored Castle Pines' 2024 Happy Canyon Road Improvement Project as a Best of Colorado winner; the $3.6 million project finished 20 days ahead of schedule and was built by Elite Service Infrastructure in partnership with Dole & Neri and city public works staff.
The Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association on April 8 recognized Castle Pines' 2024 Happy Canyon Road Improvement Project as a Best of Colorado award winner, highlighting the city's partnership with contractor Elite Service Infrastructure (ESI) and the work of local public works staff.
"My name is Mike Skinner. I am the director of engineering for the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association," Skinner told the council while presenting the award. He said the award is competitive — roughly 60 nominations statewide and 12 winners this year — and that judges gave the Happy Canyon project nearly perfect scores for construction quality and delivery. The project cost was cited in the presentation as $3,600,000 and was completed 20 days ahead of schedule to avoid traffic conflicts with a major regional golf tournament.
Skinner credited the partnership among the city's public works team, ESI, and subcontractors, noting the city provided technical engagement and the contractor successfully navigated project challenges. "Kudos to Larry and Noel and the work that you did with ESI last year," Skinner said; the presenter added that the award plaque is available in the city office.
The recognition acknowledges the project's delivery and the city's public works capacity; the council thanked the presenter and staff for the work.
