February 5, 2026 – The City of Colorado Springs will begin construction of a new traffic signal at the Marksheffel Road and Peaceful Valley Road intersection next week to improve safety and allow traffic movements in all directions from all four intersection legs.
As part of the project, the western section of Peaceful Valley Road will be fully closed between Marksheffel Road and Pennycress Drive for approximately six to eight weeks. The closure will remain in place until the new traffic signal is fully operational. Eastbound Peaceful Valley Road, east of Marksheffel Road, will remain open throughout construction and will not be affected.
A map showing the closure area and detour routes is attached for reference…
