Puebloans no longer have to go far out of their way to avoid traveling on Pueblo Boulevard as traffic is running again over two lanes of traffic in each direction after extensive repaving and renovation work closed a portion of the busy roadway for several months, causing lots of traffic congestion and driver frustration. A Colorado Department of Transportation spokesperson said that permanent striping is in place, with shouldering, signal installation, patching and landscaping left to complete. The project originally was scheduled to be finished in spring of next year, but closing two lanes of traffic at a time allowed crews to get work done ahead of schedule. The road is still a work zone and the speed limit is still 45 mph. An overnight closure is planned for Nov. 18 for bridge jacking. Completion is anticipated to be before Thanksgiving.
