COLORADO SPRINGS — El Paso County is continuing to make progress on the Military Access, Mobility & Safety Improvement Project (MAMSIP).

In their latest traffic advisory release, CDOT warns drivers that areas along South Academy Boulevard may have to adjust to changing road conditions.

The traffic changes are going to "allow crews to work on the outside lanes, install drainage pipes, and prepare to construct a noise barrier," according to El Paso County.

Drivers should use extreme caution on affected I-25 entrance ramps since they have been shortened.

The South Academy Boulevard Widening Project is expected to be completed by early 2026.

Proposed annexation could double a small Colorado town's population

A fifth-generation rancher has no official say as a massive housing development is proposed right next to his land. He lives just outside the town limits of Calhan, so he can't vote on the project that could double the town's size and threaten his way of life.

He Has No Vote, but His Ranch Is on the Line
