Woodmen Road Corridor Improvement Project-Phase 1 Construction Launch Public Meeting
The City of Colorado Springs is hosting a construction launch public meeting to kickoff the first phase of corridor construction and to introduce the construction team for Phase 1 from campus Drive to Stinson Road. The Phase 1 Construction Project (Campus Drive to Stinson Road) includes plans to widen Woodmen Road to six lanes between Campus Drive and Academy Boulevard. The project will also build a grade-separated interchange at Woodmen Road and Academy Boulevard. Construction of these improvements is the first step to reduce congestion along Woodmen Road. Edward Kraemer and Sons, Inc., was selected by the City as the construction contractor, and construction is anticipated to begin in mid- to late September.
The project is funded with $35 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), with the balance of the funding coming from the Pike?s Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA).
The City encourages citizens to attend the public open house for information about the construction process. Further information will be posted as it is available on the project web site at www.woodmenroad.com
