(COLORADO SPRINGS) — A full closure of Jet Wing Drive that was planned at South Academy Boulevard has been delayed due to weather.
According to the City of Colorado Springs, the closure of Jet Wing Drive has been delayed until Sunday, Jan. 28, from the previously scheduled start date of Jan. 17. The closure supports underground work on the east side of Jet Wing.
Traffic will detour north to Hancock Expressway to access South Academy Boulevard. Crews will reopen Jet Wing Drive once underground work moves north.
The City said travel lanes have been temporarily realigned between Jet Wing Drive and Chelton Road to expedite underground waterline work. Both directions of South Academy Boulevard traffic are on the western portion of the roadway to allow crews to work under the northbound lanes.
Access to businesses on the east side of South Academy Boulevard will only be impacted when crews are working directly in those access points, and the City said access will be reopened once operations are complete. When closed, motorists will use Astrozon Boulevard to access businesses.
