Southbound Nevada will be temporarily closed starting August 1

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Southbound Nevada Avenue will temporarily close between Pikes Peak Avenue and Colorado Avenue starting August 1 for up to two weeks.

The sidewalk will also be closed to pedestrians according to The City of Colorado Springs.

The city says that the closure is for utility work for the  AdAmAn Alley project.

Northbound Nevada will remain open.

A westbound lane on Colorado Ave between Nevada Avenue and Tejon Street will continue to remain closed for the duration of the AdAmAn Alley project.

The alley is getting the utilities upgraded and the pavement reconstructed. The city says the surface will be reconstructed with the intent of supporting pedestrian accessibility throughout. 

Once the City and Colorado Springs Utilities have completed the utility and pavement work, the Downtown Partnership, along with the private property owners, will implement public art and other aesthetic improvements to create a more inviting place for people to gather, according to the city.
