About the Project
The Colorado Department of Transportation and WW Clyde have started a major construction project in east Colorado Springs to replace the existing Powers Boulevard (CO 21 / US Highway 24) and Airport Road intersection with a diverging diamond interchange.
This project will realign Airport Road, improve the Airport Road and Stewart Avenue intersection, and add pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Work includes bridge and ramp construction, placing embankment, concrete paving, overhead sign structure installation, new traffic signals and permanent water quality ponds.
The DDI design was selected for this location to address congestion, improve safety, and add multimodal facilities that will allow for a safer and more comfortable travel experience for cars, pedestrians and cyclists.
Construction activity will take place adjacent to the highway with minor traffic impacts on Powers Boulevard and Airport Road during the first year of construction. The project is expected to be complete in late 2026.
