Project Background

Arapahoe County is taking initial steps to improve a portion of Gun Club Road to better serve drivers and riders. The County is first focusing its efforts on the portion of Gun Club Road between Quincy Avenue and Aurora Parkway. Gun Club Road serves as a major north-south arterial route, providing access to and from E-470, Arapahoe Park, Aurora Reservoir, Tollgate Crossing, Dove Hill, as well as the north access to the Southlands Shopping Center. With Gun Club Road transitioning to Aurora Parkway as a six-lane arterial to the south, and Arapahoe County’s Partial Continuous Flow Intersection Project at Quincy Avenue to the north, the two-lane section of Gun Club Road needs upgrades to reduce congestion, improve operational performance, improve safety and improve multimodal mobility in the corridor.

Project Timeline

The project is currently in the preliminary design phase. Final design and construction will proceed when funding becomes available.
