Traffic Impacts

(All schedules are weather dependent)

North Segment - South Academy Boulevard between Platte Avenue and Airport Road

Southbound Academy Boulevard traffic remains in a temporary alignment with both directions of traffic on the western portion of the roadway. This new alignment allows crews to move into the next phase of construction and safely perform underground work below the northbound lanes between Airport Road and Bijou Street. Crews will also continue driveway replacements and sidewalk installations on the east side of the roadway near Pikes Peak Avenue. Expect delays and use alternative routes.

Access at Pikes Peak Avenue on the west side of South Academy Boulevard has been reopened. Pikes Peak Avenue will remain closed east of South Academy Boulevard to support water main work.

South Segment – South Academy Boulevard between East Fountain Boulevard and Jet Wing Drive

Access will be reopened at Jet Wing Drive from southbound South Academy Boulevard. Crews have completed a major portion of waterline installation across the intersection allowing crews to reopen the intersection on Wednesday, Nov. 22. Access to and from southbound Academy Boulevard at Jet Wing Drive will remain open until the next phase of construction in early 2024.

Expect delays and use alternative routes.
