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.

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.
