Falcon, Colorado – El Paso County will modify traffic access at Meridian Drive and Owl Place beginning March 2, affecting northbound travel for several days.
According to El Paso County officials, the northbound outer lane of Meridian Drive will close between Eastonville Road and Owl Place starting at approximately 8 a.m. Monday, March 2. The closure is expected to last about three days and is weather dependent.
County officials said the work will remove the existing left-turn movement from northbound Meridian Drive onto Owl Place. After construction is complete, drivers will no longer be able to turn left at that intersection.
Access to Owl Place will instead be routed through the roundabout at Falcon Market Place and Eastonville Road.
Drivers should expect minor delays in the area during construction and are encouraged to plan alternate routes and allow additional travel time. The county advised motorists to reduce speeds in the work zone and watch for workers, equipment, signs, and barricades.
The traffic change may impact local commuters and students traveling through Falcon during peak morning hours.
