Cañon City Commences 2026 Road Projects Amid Gas Line Relocation Challenges

Cañon City is executing three significant road construction projects in 2026, with two focused on 9th Street. The south end project involves water main replacement and street repaving, while the north end is widening the street and adding curbs and sidewalks.

The north end is expected to be completed in about a month, while the south end is projected to finish by fall. A persistent challenge is the natural gas line relocation on East Main Street, which has faced multiple delays due to complications with existing infrastructure.

This project is set to begin later this summer after design changes and permit applications. The ongoing construction may impact local businesses and traffic flow.
