October 26, 2012 - Southeastern Colorado/CDOT Region 2 - COLORADO SPRINGS – Bridge work by the Colorado Department of Transportation’s (CDOT) will require lane closures on Interstate 25 at Cimarron Street overnight Saturday.

Between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, shoulder closures will be in place on Cimarron (U.S. 24) under I-25. Traffic impacts are expected to be minimal.

Beginning at 7 p.m., only one lane of northbound I-25 will be open at Cimarron for bridge deck repairs, including concrete pouring.
