Planning Phase
About
The 8th Street Corridor Improvements Project will address infrastructure and mobility needs along the corridor. Over 30,000 vehicles use this road daily. The corridor (8th Street from Fountain Creek to Motor City Drive) serves as an important link for businesses and neighborhoods southwest of Interstate 25 and U.S. Highway 24. The corridor also connects these groups to downtown Colorado Springs and the Gold Hill Mesa neighborhood.
Key Elements
- Widen the 8th Street bridge over Fountain Creek and add a northbound lane with attached sidewalk/trail.
- Addition of sidewalks, curb and gutter, and improved drainage on 8th Street from Fountain Creek to Motor City Drive.
- Asphalt paving of 8th Street from Fountain Creek to Motor City Drive, with full repaving planned with a future 2C project.
- Replacement of a 24-inch water main under southbound 8th Street, from Vermijo Avenue to Motor City Drive.
Funding
This project is partially funded by the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority.
