When the annual Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo begins in mid-July, it brings more traffic congestion to 8th Street, particularly at the Lower Gold Camp Road intersection. To mitigate this, officials have outlined steps to ease traffic congestion and construction impacts during rodeo week in Colorado Springs.
Construction and Traffic Control
A major construction project on 89th Street, involving a water main replacement near the intersection, may cause confusion for drivers. However, police will conduct traffic control at the intersection during peak rodeo times, and construction crews will finish their work before rodeo traffic starts. Officials advise drivers to use 21st Street as an alternate route.
