Colorado State Highway 105
State Highway 105 is a state highway that runs from State Highway 83 in western Black Forest to SH 67 (Manhart Avenue) in Sedalia. The highway serves the communities of Monument and Palmer Lake and the unincorporated areas of Douglas and El Paso counties.
Route description
The road begins at SH 83 at maneuvers west where it reaches Interstate 25 with a complex interchange and begins heading westward through the city of Monument. The road then abruptly turns northward and northwestward, nearing Palmer Lake. Once past the lake, the road begins northward along Spruce Mountain Road, turning abruptly westward onto Perry Park Road, abruptly ending at the El Paso - Douglas county line. The road moves through the foothills of Douglas County as Perry Park Road. It then heads westward to its terminus at SH 67 near Sedalia.[1]
History
The route was established in the 1920s, when it connected U.S. Route 87, now Interstate 25, to Sedalia. By 1963, the road was deleted from Palmer Lake to Interstate 25 and the road was paved to its entirety. The road was extended to replace SH 50 (now deleted) due to confusion with U.S. Route 50. A section from SH 83 to I-25 was deleted in October 2007.[2]
