July 8, 2024 – <\/strong>\u00a0Bradley Road under the South Academy Boulevard bridge<\/strong> will be reduced to one alternating lane of traffic controlled by flaggers on Monday, July 9, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to allow crews to perform work on the bridge.<\/p>\n

There will be alternating\u00a0 ramp and lane closures on westbound South Academy Boulevard between I-25 and Fountain Creek<\/strong> on Friday, July 12, 7 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. to allow crews to move barriers and place pavement markings in preparation for a lane shift to the inside.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 13, starting at 4:30 a.m., westbound South Academy Boulevard lanes will be shifted towards the center<\/strong> between I-25 and Fountain Creek <\/strong>to allow crews to work on the outside lanes\u00a0 and install drainage pipes. During this new alignment, Coventry Drive traffic intending to travel west on South Academy will be diverted<\/strong>: westbound traffic will enter northbound I-25, travel to South Circle Drive (Mile Point 138), turn around and continue south to exit 135 to continue westbound South Academy. This detour will be in place for approximately 3 weeks.<\/p>\n

A shift of eastbound South Academy Boulevard between I-25 and Fountain Creek towards the center is ongoing<\/strong> to allow crews to work on the outside lanes, install drainage pipes, and prepare to construct a noise barrier. This alignment will be in place approximately until Spring 2025.<\/p>\n

Motorists are also advised that the shift of the northbound I-25 off-ramp to northbound <\/strong>South Academy Boulevard<\/strong> to a new alignment is ongoing and will have a short acceleration lane.<\/p>\n

Motorists are advised to use caution at all entrance ramps as merge lengths have been shortened. <\/strong>In particular, motorists should be prepared to stop on the US 85\/87 on-ramp to eastbound South Academy<\/strong> and the Bradley Road on-ramp to eastbound South Academy since merge area is greatly reduced.<\/p>\n

All lanes of Bradley Road under South Academy Boulevard are shifted to the center of the roadway ongoing to allow crews to perform work on new bridge piers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These closures are weather dependent and subject to change.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”15156″ img_size=”large” css=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]South Academy Boulevard Widening Project<\/strong><\/p>\n
