Wildcat Construction will reconstruct and pave Manitou Avenue between the Ruxton roundabout and Tubby’s Turnaround from May 16-27. Major traffic impacts are expected due to the small amount of room to work in and concrete cure times.
This stage of the Manitou Avenue from Park Avenue to Serpentine Drive Project (MAPS) will block access to the western end of Manitou Springs from Park Avenue or from downtown via Manitou Avenue.
To reach this section of the city, take U.S. Highway 24 to Serpentine Drive. Emergency access through the area will be available at all times.
This will be the final paving work in this part of the MAPS Project, resulting in completed utilities installation, roadways, sidewalks, curb and gutter from Park Avenue to the Smischny parking lot.
After workers leave the area May 27, all major construction activities will take place between the Smischny lot and Serpentine Drive. The project is estimated for an early-summer completion.
