COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) recently finished a key phase of the ongoing overpass construction at the intersection of Powers Boulevard and Airport Road, and will start another phase as early as this weekend.
Last Sunday night, CDOT closed southbound Powers at Airport overnight to finish placing the last of six girders that form the base of the new Airport bridge above Powers; that work was delayed because of snow, cold temperatures, and strong winds.
The next step begins this weekend and continues through next week, with more nighttime closures on Powers so that crews can start working on the bridge deck.
