Colorado Springs Utilities (Springs Utilities) tweeted just after 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 8 and asked travelers to avoid the area while crews respond.

Springs Utilities did not provide an estimated time of reopening. FOX21 has a crew at the scene and will provide additional updates in this article once we get them.
