October 29, 2025 – El Paso County will replace cross pans at several intersections crossing Del Brook Drive and Dean Drive. Construction activities will occur in stages, with the first stage scheduled to begin on Thursday, October 30. Each stage is expected to be completed in five working days, weather permitting. The final stage is scheduled to be completed in late November 2025.
El Paso County’s Department of Public Works replaces cross pans (concrete gutters) as part of an ongoing program to repair drainage and improve accessibility along County roads. This important program contributes to improved safety for pedestrians and motorists and aligns with the County’s vision of being a trusted regional leader known for excellence in county service delivery.
The drainage repairs along Del Brook Drive and Dean Drive must be completed before the County can begin road paving activities in the area, which are scheduled to occur in 2026.
