Eastbound US 6 to Northbound I-25 flyover bridge closed for weekend
Throughout the weekend, crews will be replacing the expansion joint glands -- the rubber strips that protect the bridge deck from intruding water, dirt and debris.
While this work is being done, eastbound US 6 drivers wanting to travel north on I-25 will be directed south on I-25 to Alameda Avenue and then north on Santa Fe Drive to access northbound I-25.
In the coming weeks, similar work will be done on the westbound US 6 to southbound I-25 flyover bridge.
PROJECT INFORMATION: The $98 million US 6 Bridges Design-Build Project will replace six obsolete bridges on US 6 between Knox Court and I-25, improve traffic movements in the I-25 and US 6 interchange and enhance driver safety by eliminating several traffic weave movements along US 6 between Federal Boulevard and I-25. Kraemer North America, the primary contractor, is on schedule to complete the project in October – 20 months after initial construction impacts and nearly one year ahead of CDOT’s originally estimated timeframe for the project.
