Pueblo city officials released a preliminary street repaving list for 2027 earlier this week. The list includes 2.5 miles of 29th Street from behind the Pueblo Mall to Lowell Avenue, along with several other corridors.
Why it matters
The list signals which major roads in Pueblo are slated for repair after utility and repair work was completed on the 29th Street corridor earlier this year. City Council's final approval would set the schedule for residents who travel these routes daily.
The preliminary list includes 2.5 miles of 29th Street, a 3/4-mile northwest segment of Dillon Drive, two miles of Elizabeth Street, and five blocks of Jerry Murphy Road. Officials have not yet established a dedicated funding source for these projects, and City Council has not taken final action on the list.
The players
Pueblo City Council
The elected governing body of Pueblo, Colorado, which holds authority to give final approval to the city's repaving list.
The details
The 29th Street project is timed to follow utility and repair work completed earlier this year. Repaving of Elizabeth Street was originally scheduled for this year but was delayed due to unfinished utility work, and Jerry Murphy Road south of Highway 47 is slated for concrete work and repaving.
Timeline
Earlier this year: Utility and repair work was completed on the 29th Street corridor.
This year: Elizabeth Street repaving was scheduled but delayed.
Earlier this week: City officials released the preliminary 2027 repaving list.
Later this month (November 2026): City Council is expected to consider final approval of the list.
Political Context
Colorado Springs and Pueblo County both have dedicated funding sources for paving or transportation projects, which Pueblo officials continue to weigh as an option. Pueblo's repaving plan currently depends on the city's general budget rather than a dedicated fund of this kind.
Drivers who use 29th Street, Elizabeth Street, Dillon Drive, or Jerry Murphy Road can expect these corridors to be on the city's repair schedule if the list is approved. Residents should watch for City Council action later this month to learn when construction would begin.
The takeaway
Residents who regularly drive the listed corridors can track City Council's vote later this month to see which projects move forward and when. The list remains preliminary until council acts on it.
What happens next
City Council is expected to consider final approval of the 2027 repaving list at a meeting later this month.
