The Carnivale Parade is returning on Saturday, Feb. 26. Between noon and 2 p.m., traffic on Manitou Avenue will be detoured onto some of Manitou Springs’ narrower streets.
Westbound traffic will be detoured onto El Paso Boulevard and then onto Washington Avenue. This route will take vehicles onto Cañon Avenue and then back onto Manitou Avenue. This is a different route than normal; Colorado Springs Utilities is working on Lover’s Lane for the gas main renewal project, making it an unsafe detour route.
Eastbound traffic coming from Ruxton Avenue into downtown will be detoured onto Osage Avenue.
Both routes include extremely narrow residential streets with on-street parking throughout. Large trucks will not be allowed to detour through these roads and will be redirected back onto Manitou Avenue or onto U.S. Highway 24.
Please plan ahead and avoid these routes from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday if at all possible.
