COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Road work on Woodmen Road and the related bridge over North Academy Boulevard is set to begin Monday.
Construction crews will begin working on the bridge and nearby ramps on Monday, August 11. According to the City of Colorado Springs, work will include the following to provide a smoother driving experience:
- resurfacing the bridge
- nearby paving
- fix worn concrete
- refresh pavement markings
- make minor sidewalk and curb repairs
In September, the city will use 2C funds to repave Woodmen Road from East Rockrimmon Boulevard to Olga Wilson Way.
The city says this work will happen at night and will close one lane at a time. This repaving is expected to last for three to five weeks depending on weather. They also say follow-up projects may happen following the paving.
Since 2016, 2C funds have been used to fix roads in Colorado Springs. According to the city, this is the second 2C Road Improvement Program, which is funded by a .57% sales tax.
Voters first approved 2C in 2019, and they also approved a third version of it last November, which starts in 2026 and ends in 2035.
