Ramona Avenue at South Nevada Avenue will close for three days starting on Monday as part of the City of Colorado Springs’ South Nevada Avenue Traffic Signal Improvements Project.
Crews are scheduled to complete paving work on Monday, March 23, with the closure potentially continuing through Tuesday, March 24, as needed. Additional striping work is scheduled for the morning of Wednesday, March 25 for a few hours. The roadway will reopen when the work is complete.
Traffic traveling north and south on South Nevada Avenue will not be impacted. Access to nearby businesses and properties remains open.
While Ramona Avenue is closed, drivers should follow the signed detour route around the intersection.
- Westbound Ramona Avenue traffic: Detour south on South Nevada Avenue, west on St. Elmo Avenue, north on Tejon Street and return to Ramona Avenue from the west.
- Eastbound Ramona Avenue traffic: Detour south on Tejon Street, east on St. Elmo Avenue, north on South Nevada Avenue and return to Ramona Avenue from the east.
Pedestrian access will be provided with clearly marked detours. Some sidewalk segments near the work zone will temporarily close, with signage directing pedestrians where to cross safely.
On-street parking within the work zone will be restricted during construction. Customers visiting area businesses should use nearby parking areas outside the closure zone.
The City, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation, is upgrading two intersections along South Nevada Avenue at Ramona Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue. The project will replace aging traffic signal infrastructure and provide safety upgrades for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. For more information, visit ColoradoSprings.gov/southnevadasignals.
