COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) will relocate underground water, wastewater, electric and fiber infrastructure along Austin Bluffs Parkway from now until mid-November.
CSU says this is a part of the Central Bluffs Substation project, which will allow an electric substation to be built.
During the project, lane closures and shifts will take place on Austin Bluffs Parkway to allow crews to work in the roadway.
Until late July, westbound Austin Bluffs Parkway will be down to one lane between Meadowland Boulevard and Brenner Place. Until mid-November, eastbound Austin Bluffs Parkway will have lane closures between the North Union Boulevard merge-lane and Goldenrod Drive.
CSU encourages motorists to plan ahead or take an alternate route.
As the project continues, CSU says there will be future traffic impacts to Austin Bluffs Parkway and other roads.

This southeast Colorado reservoir completely dried out, taking away one of the best recreation spots
All that’s left of the Two Buttes Reservoir is a scattering of lifeless buoys, a rusty lawn chair, empty beer cans, and a number of fishing lures that have fallen into the water over the years.
