Work on Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge to Close I-25

Two Full Closures Scheduled – Colorado Blvd. to Evans Ave.

Denver Public Works is taking significant steps toward construction of the Colorado Center Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge over I-25, with the two major structural components of the bridge, the truss and arch, scheduled for installation.

The installation work will require full closure of I-25 between Colorado Blvd. and Evans Ave. on Thursday, December 18, and Monday, December 22. Here is the schedule both days, weather permitting:

lane closures begin at 8:00pm

full closure of northbound traffic at 10:00pm

full closure of southbound traffic at 11:00pm

interstate reopens in both directions at 5:30am

During these two scheduled closures of I-25, Denver Public Works strongly encourages regional through traffic to avoid the area altogether by using I-225, I-70, US 285, C-470, E-470 or any other alternate route. Denver Public Works will work together with CDOT to monitor traffic in the area and along detour routes.

Detour routes

Southbound I-25 traffic will exit at Colorado Blvd and then continue on Colorado Blvd to Evans Ave. to reconnect with southbound I-25

Northbound I-25 traffic will exit at Evans Ave. and continue on Evans Ave to Colorado Blvd. to reconnect with northbound I-25

Three nights of ramp closures, including a ramp closure tonight, are also scheduled as crews deliver bridge sections to the project site for assembly.

Closure of the Evans Ave exit ramp at southbound I-25 and right lane of SB I-25 between Colorado and Evans is scheduled, weather permitting, for:

Wednesday, Dec. 10—8:00pm to 5:30am

Thursday, Dec. 11—8:00pm to 5:30am

Friday, Dec. 19—8:00pm to 5:30am

The public’s patience and cooperation during construction is greatly appreciated. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
