~ Colorado Springs - Marksheffel Road will experience closures and detours this weekend as crews work to improve the roadway. According to a press release from the city, the road will be closed to all traffic from south of Dublin Boulevard to north of Tarren Heights overnight on Thursday, April 24 from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. and for the entire weekend starting at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 25 until 5:30 a.m. on Monday, April 28.

The closure is necessary for crews to trench across Marksheffel Road in order to place a utility duct bank and drainage pipes below ground. This work is weather-dependent and may be subject to change.
