I-25 Closure at Woodmen Road Next Week

September 2, 2011 - Southeastern Colorado/CDOT Region 2 - COLORADO SPRINGS – The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will be closing Interstate 25 at Woodmen Road next week, allowing the sign structure that crosses the highway to be painted.

Beginning at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, September 6, and Wednesday, September 7, all lanes of northbound I-25 will be closed at the Woodmen Road Interchange (Exit 149). All traffic will detour via the off- and on-ramp, with the traffic signals adjusted to provide additional “green” time for the northbound traffic traveling through the intersection at the bottom of the ramp. Some slowing should be expected through the area.

All lanes of northbound I-25 will reopen to traffic by 6 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

The gray structure will be painted mocha brown, the standard color for sign bridges on I-25 through Colorado Springs.
