COLORADO SPRINGS — The City of Colorado Springs is closing the Cheyenne Road Bridge starting Thursday, April 3, through Friday, April 11.
The bridge is approximately 200 feet west of Cresta Road, and work on the Cresta Road Bridge will be finished by Wednesday, April 2.

According to the city, work will include waterproofing the bridge, replacing pavement, and "repairing some other items."
The goal is to extend the life of the bridges and limit future repairs.
If possible, drivers are asked to seek alternate routes. If it's not possible, drivers should expect longer drive times over the bridge.
