On the other hand, southbound Marksheffel Road will be closed to through traffic at Stetson Hills Boulevard. Drivers will need to turn right at Stetson Hills Boulevard and follow a signed detour that will take them west on Stetson Hills Boulevard, south on Peterson Road, and east on Barnes Road. Access to the Mountain Preserve neighborhood at Tarren Heights and Reach Church will still be available from the north via southbound Marksheffel Road.

Emergency access will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. However, drivers are advised to allow for additional travel time and use caution near the work zone. Construction schedules are subject to change depending on weather conditions.

The Marksheffel Road Improvements project aims to improve the existing two-lane section of Marksheffel Road between North Carefree Circle and Dublin Boulevard. Once completed, the road will have two lanes in each direction with a center median, improved drainage systems, and new sidewalks and paths for pedestrians.

More information about the project can be found on the city's website at ColoradoSprings.gov/Marksheffel. The project is still on track to be completed by the end of this year.
