Colorado Springs project
No work is planned for the 30th Street Corridor project from Friday, Sept. 2, to Monday, Sept. 5.
The contractor will be working near the for several weeks. Starting after Sept. 5, crews will begin constructing a decorative landscape wall with two Garden of the Gods signs in the roundabout’s center island. Decorative colored concrete will also be placed in the median islands approaching the roundabout.
Shoulder closures, traffic shifts and flaggers are expected for some work activities. Drivers should be aware of construction vehicles entering and exiting the work area.
After major reconstruction, 30th Street between Mesa and Gateway roads is open. The contractor team will continue working on finishing several items while maintaining traffic on the new pavement.
Travelers will encounter lane shifts for periodic work occurring adjacent to the roadway, which includes:
- Excavations for new retaining walls; and
- Finishing work between Mesa and Gateway roads.
Major underground utility work continues between Gateway Road and Fontanero Street. The contractor team has placed more than half of the storm sewer infrastructure and water pipeline planned within the current road closure area. Grading work continues for the widened roadway and slopes.
For the safety of trail users and to assist with the traffic flow into and out of the park, trail access across Gateway Road has been removed. All trail users should use the new underpass.
Through early summer 2023, 30th Street is closed in both directions between Gateway Road and Fontanero Street. Access to Garden of the Gods Park, including the Visitor & Nature Center, will be maintained from Garden of the Gods Road.
Occasional lane or shoulder closures are possible within the work zone. As needed, flaggers will assist with traffic control.
General work hours are 7 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays, although extended hours or weekend work may be necessary for specific construction activities.
