Colorado Springs officials are assessing the condition of a bridge over Shooks Run Creek on Uintah Street to make emergency utility and bridge repairs. The closure of four blocks of Uintah, between Institute and Prospect Streets, happened around 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Uintah is a vital traffic corridor; it’s one of the city’s few east-west routes that crosses nearly the entire city, from Academy Boulevard to Interstate 25, to just east of Manitou Springs.

This is the second time since last fall that the city has closed a bridge over the creek for repairs. In October 2025, a bridge closure on Cache La Poudre Street — several blocks south of the Uintah bridge — was reported for a scheduled maintenance project between El Paso and Prospect streets.
