The El Paso County Public Works Department closed a portion of Burgess Road in Black Forest, between Goodson Road and Vollmer Road in December for culvert replacement work.Matt Steiner, EPC public information officer, said three pipes were installed perpendicular to Burgess Road to replace existing drainage infrastructure. The culverts had previously been identified as in need of replacing, and work was scheduled to begin Dec. 12, he said.The work was completed Dec. 14, although the current asphalt repairs are temporary and will be revisited in the spring when the weather is warmer, Steiner said. Custom flared concrete end sections will also be installed in the spring at that location, he said.The county has identified five additional culverts east of Windmill Road that must be replaced when the weather and resources permit, but the EPC will provide advance notification and/or signage in the area to alert community members, Steiner said.
