TRAFFIC DETOURS:

Eastbound US 24 / Cimarron Street: Traffic heading eastbound on US 24 / Cimarron Street will detour on southbound Nevada Avenue, back to I-25.

Westbound US 24 / Cimarron Street:  Traffic heading westbound on Cimarron Street wishing to turn onto southbound I-25 will detour using northbound I-25 to Bijou Street, turn left on Bijou Street, then get back onto southbound I-25.

PROJECT COORDINATION: The I-25 Fillmore and I-25 Cimarron Interchange Projects coordinate schedules when possible to minimize impact to the travelling public during construction.

PROJECT INFORMATION: The $113 million I-25/Cimarron Interchange Design-Build Project involves rebuilding the I-25 interchange between Colorado Avenue on the north and South Nevada Avenue to the south, 8th Street on the west and the Cimarron Street over Fountain Creek bridge on the east. Improvements are intended to provide enhanced operations, correct existing safety and design deficiencies, and to serve the anticipated short- and long-term travel demands in this area. When complete, this will be a high-functioning interchange that safely handles more vehicles and enhances multi-modal travel for those using I-25, US 24/Cimarron Street and the trail system along Monument and Fountain creeks. Substantial completion is planned for end of 2017.
