The City of Colorado Springs is announcing the launch of a multi-year project that will start on July 21.

The City said the Marksheffel Road Improvement project’s first phase is scheduled to begin on Friday, July 21 and work will occur on a 1.2-mile stretch between North Carefree Circle and Tamlin Road.

The City said the first phase will start with relocating utilities, installing new drainage facilities, and constructing a stormwater pond. Road surface improvements are expected to begin in late 2023 and 2024. The City said the work will require lane shifts and periodic lane closures starting in mid-August 2023.
