COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — A utility relocation work project and planned lane closures on Austin Bluffs Parkway have been delayed.
According to Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU), after project coordination, the lane closures will be delayed until additional preparation and inspection work can be done.
CSU says the first phase of the project is expected to start later this month and be done by March 9. This phase will close two westbound lanes of Austin Bluffs Parkway from just west of Goldenrod Drive to the North Union Boulevard on-ramp.
During the closures, motorists should expect slower travel times and possible congestion, especially during peak hours.
According to CSU, two other phases are scheduled to be done by mid-May.
CSU says the project is happening to safely and efficiently complete electric line relocation for the Central Bluffs Substation. For more information about the project, visit CSU's website.
