COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Evening commuters could see impacts to their drive overnight on Monday, June 9, and Tuesday, June 10.

Brookside Street at South Nevada Avenue will be closed from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on both nights.

The street will remain open, but drivers won't be allowed to turn between Brookside Street and South Nevada during these times, so drivers should prepare for longer travel times.
