8th Street Construction

Occasional daytime lane closures start Sept. 22

Starting Monday, Sept. 22, motorists will encounter occasional lane closures on northbound 8th Street at the bridge over Fountain Creek between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The occasional closures will occur for several weeks to allow for work on the bridge. One lane of northbound 8th Street will remain open at all times. The lane closure of the right northbound through and right turn-lane are necessary as construction crews work to widen the eastern side of the bridge. The closures provide a safe working zone and buffer for crews and traffic, as well as for pedestrians and bicyclists.

This project adds a northbound lane across the bridge and replaces the Midland Trail bridge with an attached multi-use path on the bridge. This phase of the project is scheduled to run through early 2026. During this phase, the bridge remains open in both directions, although occasional lane closures should be expected. 

Access to local businesses remains open and clearly visible.
