...this week...next week...and for years to come!
"Got a sales appointment or delivery east of Colorado Springs? You may want to plan an alternative route this Friday, June 6.
One lane on the Woodmen Frontage Road east of Golden Sage Road near the School District 49 Bus/Administration Facility will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The closure will allow the installation of a storm drain pipe, and flaggers will help direct traffic.
Speed limits along Woodmen Road also have been reduced from 55 mph to 40 mph between Black Forest and Meridian roads for the duration of the project, through April 2009" (CSBJ daily)40 mph is entirely to slow for this stretch of road, speaking as one who drives it multiple times per day. Often when coming home at night there is minimal traffic and not a construction worker in miles. The 40mph ought to be lifted from 6pm-6am.
The state of construction along Woodmen is about to get even worse this fall when overpass construction begins at Woodmen and Academy. And don't forget about the massive project at Woodmen and Powers. Once work at Academy and Woodmen begins over half of Woodmen from Hwy 24 to I-25 will be a construction zone. Oh joy.
Don't plan on getting anywhere quickly for the next couple of years if you traverse the cone zones on Woodmen!

Oh, isn't that so true............but it does entertain quite nicely an almost 3 year, especially when you want to keep him awake..........But yes, I have been known to just go Hodgen to 83 to get onto N Powers to avoid that area!
40mph is still way faster than a covered wagon.
Yes, but not near as fast as a learjet ;-)
I wish I had read this post yesterday before I went to Colorado Springs... got stuck in traffic for a while, just watching my gas guage move disturbingly fast to the left.
Hey, isn't it wild that yesterday gas was several cent cheaper in Colorado Springs than in Denver? Usually it's the other way around.
