~ Colorado Springs, CO- Starting Monday, July 6, motorists traveling on Pikes Peak Avenue just east of downtown will face a lane reduction in both eastbound and westbound directions. This is due to the City of Colorado Springs' plan to repair the bridge over Shooks Run Creek.

According to city officials, one lane will remain open in each direction throughout the project, although there may be times when these lanes shift. The project is expected to last until October and work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The repairs on the bridge include fixing concrete on the deck and installing a polyester concrete overlay. Additionally, masonry pilasters will be repaired, including securing caps and replacing missing stones. Sidewalks on the bridge will also be repaired, with at least one remaining accessible during construction.

During late August to late October, Mountain Metro Transit bus stop ID 638 located on the south side of Pikes Peak Avenue will be out of service. However, the Shooks Run Trail that passes beneath the bridge is expected to remain open during the project.

Motorists should anticipate delays and plan for extra travel time while passing through this area. The Pikes Peak Avenue bridge over Shooks Run Creek measures 105 feet long and 83 feet wide and was built in 2003. The routine maintenance is being funded by the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority.
