About the Project

The Meridian Metropolitan District and Douglas County are dedicated to providing safe and convenient access in and out of the Meridian Business Park. The Havana Street and Meridian Boulevard intersection will be reconfigured with new concrete pavement to improve safety at one of the main entrances off Lincoln Avenue. These improvements will also enhance sight distance and traffic operations to help with congestion during peak periods.

Smoother commute coming to Meridian

Published on April 13, 2022 on the Douglas County Website

Partnership makes possible the Havana Street and Meridian Boulevard intersection improvement project

If your daily commute takes you into Meridian, located in northern Douglas County, we have good news. Work will begin soon on a project that, once completed, will improve traffic flow through the Havana Street / Meridian Boulevard intersection.

In partnership with the Southeast Public Improvement Metropolitan District (SPIMD) and the Meridian Metropolitan District (MMD), the intersections of Meridian and Havana and Meridian and Maroon Circle will be reconfigured, including new turn lanes and a new traffic control system. Additionally, the concrete pavement on Meridian Boulevard from Maroon Circle to Havana Street will be removed and replaced.

The Board of County Commissioners approved a construction contract with Castle Rock Construction during a regular business meeting April 12. The total cost of the project is expected to be $6.1 million. SPIMD will contribute $2.65 million to the project, and MMD will contribute $450,000. The County will fund the rest. Visit the project website for updates. Construction is expected to begin by June and be completed in mid-2023.
