US 24 Intersection Improvements

About the Project:

Work will take place along westbound US 24 at the intersections of 8th Street, 21st Street, 31st Street, which is south and east of Manitou Springs, and Cliff Road, next to Manitou Springs.

The first phase of the intersection project will occur westbound on US 24 at 31st Street at Mile Point 300.44. Upon completion of work at 31st Street, crews will move operations to US 24 at 8th Street at MP 303.43. The third phase of the project is on US 24 at 21st Street at MP 302.07. The final phase will occur on US 24 at Cliff Road at MP 298.

Project Benefits

• New signs and pavement markings will bring greater attention to the pedestrian crossing
• The pedestrian crossing across the right-turn lane will be raised requiring right-turn vehicles to slow
• The pedestrian crossing across US 24 at 31st Street will be moved to the opposite side of the intersection, removing the conflicts between southbound left-turning traffic and pedestrians

Work Schedule:

• The project is anticipated to end at the end of October 2024
• The project work hours are Sunday through Thursday 6 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.
  

Traffic Impacts:

Motorists can expect the following impacts during the period of construction:

• Right turn lane lanes will be closed
  • A pedestrian detour will be provided
