COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Parts of South Tejon Street will be closing down due to a construction project that will take place overnight on Thursday and Friday.
The closure will be located along S. Tejon Street between East Motor Way and the I-25 ramps.
Construction will begin at 9 p.m. and end at 5 a.m. the next day on both nights.
The crews will be setting construction barriers on the outside of the lanes, going both northbound and southbound.
Two detours will be put into effect in the area:
Northbound traffic will be directed to Brookside Street to South Nevada Avenue then to the I-25 North Connector Road and back to South Tejon Street.
Southbound traffic will be the reverse by getting onto I-25 South Connector Road to South Nevada Avenue then to Brookside Street and finally back onto South Tejon Street.
People driving in the area should expect delays and increased travel times.
More information on the project can be found on the Colorado Springs website.
