Overnight closures announced July 7 into July 8 in south Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Heads up, night owls and early birds: If you’re on the road really late Sunday or really early Monday, you might hit some construction on the south side of the Springs!

The city announced Wednesday upcoming work happening on South Nevada just south of I-25.

“South Nevada Avenue between Brookside Street and the Interstate 25 ramps will close overnight for construction barrier movements starting on Sunday, July 7, at 9 p.m.,” the city said in a news release Wednesday morning. “The closure is expected to end on Monday, July 8, at 5 a.m.

The closure is part of the ongoing I-25 ramp improvement project along the South Nevada and Tejon corridor. Work began in May and is expected to continue through early winter. It’s divided into three phases (Source: City of Colorado Springs):

Phase 1 of the project includes the construction of a new median on Nevada from Brookside to I-25 to facilitate increased queuing capacity for left-turns to northbound I-25. Additional improvements to be completed during this phase include a new pedestrian bridge across Cheyenne Creek and sidewalk improvements on Tejon under I-25.

Phase 2 of the project improves traffic flow by widening the I-25 South Connector Road to accommodate a new right-turn lane at Nevada Avenue. Additional improvements include the construction of new sidewalk facilities on Nevada from Brookside to I-25 and a new traffic signal at the Nevada and Brookside intersection.

Phase 3 of the project will complete the remaining sidewalk, bicycle, and intersection improvements on Tejon from I-25 to Motor Way.

The city says when completed, citizens will see the following benefits:

Upgraded pedestrian facilities and traffic signals.
Construction of a pedestrian bridge over Cheyenne Creek, providing safe passage for pedestrians through the busy corridor.
Improved traffic flow from the southbound I-25 exit to South Nevada Avenue.
Pavement rehabilitation will improve the driving experience and safety.
High-visibility pavement markings and bike ramps at crosswalks will increase safety for bicyclists on S. Tejon Street.
Curb protection at the South Tejon Street and Motorway intersection will improve comfort for bicyclists.

The work on July 7-8 is in order to let crews relocate construction barriers at the site from the inner lanes to the outer lanes.

Drivers can use the following detours:

Northbound traffic is advised to take South Nevada Avenue to Brookside Street to South Tejon Street to I-25 South Connector Road to South Nevada Avenue.

Southbound traffic is advised to take South Nevada Avenue to the I-25 North Connector Road to South Tejon Street, to Brookside Street to South Nevada Avenue.

Nevada gets back in win column, downs Wyoming, 92-83

Nevada gets back in win column, downs Wyoming, 92-83

Corey Camper Jr. put on a shooting clinic and helped Nevada get back in the win column.

Nevada beat Wyoming 92-83, on Saturday in front of an announced crowd of 8,906 fans at Lawlor Events Center.

Camper Jr., playing for the third time after missing a month with a back injury, scored a career-high 31 points as Nevada improved to 4-1 in the Mountain West Conference, 12-4 overall. He was 10-of-13 from the field including 5-of-7 from 3-point range, and 6-of-8 from the free throw line, playing 32 minutes. He had seven rebounds.

Elijah Price had a double-double with a career-high 20 points and 16 rebounds, in 34 minutes, while Tayshawn Comer, Amire Robinson and Peyton White each added 10 points. Comer had 10 assists as Nevada had 21 as a team. Vaughn Weems returned to the court after missing the San Diego State game on Tuesday with the flu. He played 12 minutes and scored nine points.

The Wolf Pack shot 61 percent from the field (31-51) and made 10-of-16 from the arc.

Nasir Meyer led Wyoming with 27 points as the Cowboys dropped to 2-2 in conference, 11-5 overall.

Nevada coach Steve Alford said the Wolf Pack’s defense was better against the Cowboys than it was in the loss to San Diego State.

But still not to the level he would like it.

He cited communication and players’ stances while both guarding the ball and off the ball as a few of the many fundamentals the Pack needs to improve.

“We had slippage in the (San Diego) State game and we didn’t have a whole of improvement in this game, from a defensive standpoint,” Alford said Saturday night.

Nevada’s offense was much better, though, than in the loss to the Aztecs. The Pack took better shots and eliminated bad shots.

Alford said Price played more of a complete game than he has most of the season.

Price said the Pack’s defense was not good, but played better in the second half and that as why the Pack won.

“We’re a lot better defensively than what we’ve been showing the past two games,” Price said. “We know if were going to beat Utah State on the road, we’re going to have to get some stops, so that’s what we’re focused on.”

Up Next

Nevada travels to play at State at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The Aggies dominated Boise State on Saturday, taking a 93-68 win to improve to 14-1 overall, 5-0 in conference.

Nevada will travel to Logan, Utah on Tuesday, and stay on the road for the following game, at Air Force on Saturday.

“(Utah State) has one of the best crowds in the Mountain West , so we know it’s going to be a very difficult game for us,” Alford said. “We needed to get this one, to get that momentum before we go on the road.”

Alford said if Indiana wins that game, and finished 16-0, it means Indiana will have the only two undefeated season in college major sports as the Hoosiers 1976 basketball team was undefeated.

Alford’s Alma Mater

Alford played college basketball at Indoana.

The Hoosiers are playing Miami for the national football championship on Jan 19.
