After the shift, the west-side lanes will close. Both directions of traffic will use the east-side lanes through early 2027, the notice said.

Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time, particularly in the afternoon, consider alternate routes and follow posted signs and officers' directions. The notice also urges motorists to slow down and watch for workers and equipment.

The traffic change will allow crews to continue construction of a new roundabout and improvements for pedestrians, according to the notice. Project updates are available at ColoradoSprings.gov/US24Peterson.
