The section affected is between Santa Fe Avenue and Mesa Ridge Parkway. The northbound off ramp at Santa Fe Avenue will be closed from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on May 30 and 31.

I-25 will be fully closed on May 31 at 6 p.m. through June 1 at 9 a.m. and from June 1 at 7 p.m. through June 2 at 9 a.m., with detours in place.

Speed in the area has been reduced to 60 mph, with delays of 10 to 20 minutes expected.

Near I-25 in north Colorado Springs, Ellston Street will be closed May 20 to May 24 during the day. Crews will be conducting “safety critical work” including placing 10-foot vertical panels on the south side of the street.

A detour will be in place onto Chestnut street, Garden of the Gods Road, and then onto Sinton Street. The speed limit through the area will be 60 mph during the day and 55 mph at night on nearby I-25.

No work will be conducted at night or on Memorial Day, May 27.

A major CDOT improvement project continues on Highway 115 from Colorado Springs to Penrose.

The project is adding passing and right turn lanes while resurfacing the roadway and repairing Rock Creek Bridge.

The road is reduced to one lane in each direction and the speed limit through the construction zone is 45 mph. the project, started in 2022, is set to be completed this summer.

Airport Road

Starting May 20 and lasting through the summer, east- and westbound Airport Road is closed west of South Academy as workers complete “various underground utility and intersection improvements,” according to the project website. The closure extends from just west of Lakewood Circle, eastward to South Academy, a project closure map shows. Project officials have not given an exact date they expect Airport Road to reopen.

Drivers should expect delays and use alternative routes during the closure.

Motorists on Airport Road can detour around the closure by traveling north to Pikes Peak Avenue using Chelton Road or South Academy Boulevard for east and west access.

Drivers on South Academy can head west on Pikes Peak Avenue and then continue south on Chelton to Airport.

All businesses will remain open and accessible throughout the closure. Access from South Academy Boulevard is advised, the project website states.

Boychuck Avenue A portion of Boychuk Avenue from north of the Lamplighter neighborhood to its south entrance has also been closed from Monday to Friday this week between Hancock Expressway and Drennan Road.

Boychuk runs parallel to South Academy Boulevard.

The main entrance into the Lamplighter neighborhood is fully closed. Neighborhood traffic must use the southern entrance.

Motorists who need to access businesses on Boychuk north of the Lamplighter neighborhood can use Hancock Expressway. Travelers can access Boychuk Avenue south of the neighborhood via Drennan Road.

Boychuck Avenue will close again from May 31 through June 7.

The road closures will help crews more quickly install an underground waterline and complete new paving along Boychuck and South Academy, the project website states.
