Arapahoe Road Closed Under I-25 this Weekend
Greenwood Village – The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is closing eastbound and westbound Arapahoe Road under Interstate 25 this weekend for the demolition of the northbound I-25 bridge.
Arapahoe Road will be closed at I-25 from 9 p.m. Friday, June 17, until 9 a.m. Sunday, June 19. In addition to razing the bridge, crews will be relocating utilities and paving.
