(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The City of Colorado Springs said construction on Dublin Boulevard at Peterson Road has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, and is expected to last a few months.

City crews will change Dublin Boulevard from a two-lane road to two lanes in each direction with shoulders. A raised median will be constructed to match other sections of Dublin. Additional changes will be a ten-foot multi-use path along both sides of the street, trail connections along Sand Creek, and a new traffic signal at Issaquah Drive, along with drainage upgrades.

According to the City, construction will close Dublin between Fieler and Mustang Rim Drives from May 27 to Aug. 1. The timing of the project coincides with summer break at Pioneer Technology and Arts Academy (PTAA), minimizing the impact on the school community and Dublin Boulevard travelers. The City said this schedule allows construction crews to reduce the duration of the project by six months.

The City said the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Peterson Road will close, with access to Fire Station 21 limited to authorized personnel only. Mustang Rim Drive will close north of Dublin Blvd. to Chickasaw Way, but will remain open south of Dublin Blvd.

Access to PTAA will only be available from the south, through the Peterson Road/Hawk Wind Boulevard intersection.

Detours will be available for drivers heading north on Woodmen Road or heading south on Stetson Hills Boulevard.
