December 23, 2024<\/strong> –\u00a0A shift of <\/strong>east- and westbound 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 U.S. 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To help minimize potential traffic delays,\u00a0El Paso County is suspending work from midday Tuesday until January, 6 2025.\u00a0The only exception is for emergency operations.<\/p>\n
