Motorists will experience lane closures on Tejon Street and some adjacent streets downtown in the weeks ahead during installation of two important pipelines within the Tejon Street Revitalization Project.
From June 16-27, northbound and southbound Tejon Street between Colorado and Pikes Peak Avenues will close. This allows the installation of the new stormwater pipeline.
From June 23-July 2, Colorado Springs Utilities will relocate a natural gas main to make room for the stormwater pipeline. This requires the closure of southbound Tejon (and center lane) from Kiowa Street to Pikes Peak Avenue.
This means that between June 23-27 southbound Tejon Street will be closed in both blocks between Kiowa and Colorado; northbound Tejon Street will be open only between Kiowa Street and Pikes Peak Avenue.
Additional impacts from the June 23-July 2 project include:
- Eastbound Pikes Peak Avenue, between Cascade Avenue and South Tejon Street, will be closed except to local traffic that needs access to the large parking lot, U.S. Bank and businesses west of South Tejon Street.
- No street parking will be available on the west side of Tejon Street, between East Kiowa Street and Pikes Peak Avenue. Street parking will remain unavailable on Tejon Street between Pikes Peak and Colorado Avenues.
- Westbound Pikes Peak Avenue will remain open from South Nevada Avenue to South Cascade Avenue.
- Heavy equipment will be in the area during construction.
The City has provided vouchers for two hours of free parking at the City’s three parking garages. Learn more about the parking options during the project at coloradosprings.gov/TejonStParkingIncentives.
The Tejon Street Revitalization Project, between Colorado and Pikes Peak Avenue, expands outdoor dining areas and sidewalks with the goal of increasing public safety, pedestrian accessibility and business activity.
