COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The 45th U.S. Senior Open is just a few days away, and it's happening right in the backyard of Colorado Springs.

The championship tournament will be at The Broadmoor Golf Club from June 26 to the 29. The U.S. Senior Open will be center stage for News5 as we will be live from the east course of The Broadmoor, as 156 golfers will take a swing at the title. In this article, we will go over all the information fans and people should know about traffic impacts and more.

Parking and Traffic Impacts

The event is expected to bring in nearly 25,000 spectators per day, according to the City of Colorado Springs. Parking as well as road closures will be perhaps one of the main challenges when navigating the Broadmoor district this weekend.

Road closures are set to begin on Monday, June 23, and will last through Sunday, June 29. You can see a list of the closures and a map courtesy of the Broadmoor and City of Colorado Springs websites.

• El Pomar Road between Penrose Boulevard and Mesa Avenue
• Mirada Road between the Pourtales Road changeover to W. Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard
• 1st Street between Lake Avenue and Broadmoor Avenue
• 2nd Street between Lake Avenue and Broadmoor Avenue
• 2nd Street between Lake Avenue and Elm Avenue
• 3rd Street between Lave Avenue and Elm Avenue
• 4th Street between Lake Avenue and Elm Avenue
• Berthe Circle between Lave Avenue and Elm Avenue
• Berthe Circle starting at Lake Avenue and continuing onto Broadmoor Avenue
• Briarwood Place between Lake Avenue and Broadmoor Avenue
• Tanglewood Drive between Lave Avenue and Broadmoor Avenue
• Hutton Lane between Lake Avenue and Broadmoor Avenue
  

When it comes to those spectators who are not staying within the Broadmoor district with the road closures, it is important to keep in mind that most of the parking areas are located off-site. Buses will be used to shuttle people from the main parking lot located at The Broadmoor World Arena. Volunteers are instructed to park at Cheyenne Mountain High School and will be shuttled in from there.
