Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 26th of September.
Good morning, Castle Rock.
🏘️ Community
A growing number of Colorado residents in suburban areas—particularly in Parker—have been visiting food pantries as rising living costs and reduced federal support strain their budgets.
Local organizations like SECOR Cares and Food Bank of the Rockies reported that even full-time workers now struggle to afford basic meals.
🏛️ Government
The Castle Oaks Drive bridge just south of Rocky View Road will be fully closed from Oct.
11 to Oct. 28—weather dependent—for repairs that will install a new deck and extend the bridge's life by 20 years. Crews will work weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. while drivers take detours via Highway 83 and Highway 86 that add up to 12 miles and about 18 minutes.
