October 21, 2024 – There will be overnight right lane closures on northbound South Academy Boulevard between the Bradley Road on-ramp and Milton Proby Parkway on Tuesday, Oct. 22 through Wednesday, Oct. 23, 7 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. to allow crews to perform drainage work.
A temporary overnight full closure of northbound South Academy Boulevard between I-25 and U.S. 85/87 is planned for Friday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. to Monday, Oct. 28, at 4:30 a.m. for Fountain Creek bridge deck repairs.
A detour will be in place:
- Northbound South Academy Boulevard traffic will travel I-25 southbound to Mesa Ridge Parkway, turn east to U.S. 85/87, travel north and re-enter northbound South Academy Boulevard.
There will be temporary full closures of east- and westbound Willshire Drive near the pedestrian bridge on Monday, Oct. 21 through Friday, Oct. 25, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to allow crews to install a sound wall near South Academy Boulevard. A detour will be in place: Traffic will use Chadwick Drive and Chadwick Drive or Maxwell Street to enter northbound Wilshire Drive.
A shift of north- and southbound South Academy Boulevard between Milton Proby Parkway and U.S. 85/87 towards the center is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 23, 7 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. for a new lane alignment. Tuesday night, Oct. 22 has also been scheduled as a contingency.
A shift of east- and westbound South Academy Boulevard between I-25 and Fountain Creek towards the center is ongoing to allow crews to work on the outside lanes, install drainage pipes, and prepare to construct a noise barrier. This alignment will be in place approximately until spring 2025.
Motorists are also advised that the shift of the northbound I-25 off-ramp to northbound South Academy Boulevard to a new alignment is ongoing and will have a short acceleration lane.
Motorists are advised to use caution at all entrance ramps as merge lengths have been shortened. In particular, motorists should be prepared to stop on the U.S. 85/87 on-ramp to eastbound South Academy and the Bradley Road on-ramp to eastbound South Academy since merge area is greatly reduced.
All lanes of Bradley Road under South Academy Boulevard are shifted to the center of the roadway ongoing to allow crews to perform work on new bridge piers.
These closures are weather dependent and subject to change.
