Fountain Creek Trail Construction Closure

A temporary closure of the Fountain Creek Regional Trail will begin Monday, January 12, 2026, to allow Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) to complete a major powerline infrastructure upgrade.

Colorado Springs Utilities is replacing existing wooden powerline poles with modern steel monopoles to support a wider variety of electric transmission lines. The Fountain Creek Regional Trail serves as the only viable access route into the project area, which extends from the Stratmoor Valley neighborhood in the north to the northern end of Bandley Road near Camping World in the south.

The closure is expected to remain in place through Friday, April 24, 2026. During this period, the closed section of the trail will extend from Stratmoor Valley Park and Trailhead in the north to Camping World in the south. Northbound trail users are encouraged to turn around at John Ceresa Memorial Park.
