COLORADO SPRINGS — Marksheffel Road from south of Stetson Hills Boulevard to north of Barnes Road will be closed overnight starting Wednesday and ending on Monday.
This closure is happening so crews can place six drainage pipes and restripe a new traffic pattern. The closures will be in place from 7 p.m. until 5:30 a.m. from Wednesday, April 30 through Monday, May 5.
There will be a detour in place that will direct Marksheffel Road travelers to use Peterson Road between Stetson Hills Boulevard and Barnes Road, according to the City of Colorado Springs.
The city says work for this project is weather-dependent and the schedule is subject to change. For more information on the closure and for the latest updates, visit the City of Colorado Springs website.
