COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — To many drivers, it may seem as though the improvements project on 8th Street has lasted forever, but it actually began only six months ago.
A new round of traffic changes was scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. Tuesday, but didn’t actually happen until 9:30 a.m., and traffic was reduced to one lane northbound across the Fountain Creek bridge.
No reason for the delay was given.
That’s when crews closed both lanes of the eastbound Frontage Road between 8th Street and Cimarron Street (US 24) for two months; part of the right lane has been closed since work began.
The traffic impacts don’t end there…
