Galley Road will close to traffic between East San Miguel Street and Moffat Circle for several weeks starting on or after Monday, Jan. 15 for major underground utility work near the bridge over West Fork Sand Creek.
Travelers should plan for additional travel time and seek alternate routes.
Two detour routes will be signed:
- West of the closure, eastbound travelers will be directed at North Murray Boulevard to turn either north (left) to Palmer Park Boulevard or south (right) to East Platte Avenue.
- East of the closure, westbound travelers will be directed at Wooten Road to turn either north (right) to Palmer Park Boulevard or south (left) to East Platte Avenue.
Access to properties adjacent to the utility trench work will be provided. Customers for ENT Credit Union, located at 4545 Galley Road, should approach from the west. Access for businesses located at 4575 Galley Road will be from the east.
The Homestead Trail will close between Galley Road and North Murray Boulevard during the utility work. Moffat Circle will be the signed pedestrian detour route.
Galley Road is expected to reopen in early February 2024. This closure is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
This utility work is necessary in advance of the Galley Road Bridge Replacement Project, which is expected to begin this spring. An extended full closure of Galley Road will be required to replace the bridge over West Fork Sand Creek with a new structure that better accommodates high-flow events in the creek and transportation needs above ground. More information on the bridge project is available at https://coloradosprings.gov/galleybridge.
