COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The City of Colorado Springs will be closing the intersection of Hopeful Drive and South Blissful Circle for approximately four weeks, starting Monday, July 7.
Crews will be replacing a sewer line during the closure as part of the Park Vista Drainage Improvement Project.

The city says that Blissful Circle will only be accessible from the north during the closure, from Siferd Boulevard to Hopeful Drive.
Work at the intersection will require 24-hour pumping with constant staff for noise mitigation, according to the city.
The closure and construction are weather-dependent.
