Ramp Work begins at I-70/I-225 Interchange
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) project includes replacing the expansion joints, repairing the deck and overlaying the road surface with polyester concrete, which is being utilized since it creates a waterproof membrane and has a longer lifespan than other paving materials.
Ramp impacts are as follows:
- Monday through Friday – 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., shoulder closures
- Sunday through Thursday – 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., single lane closures
Drivers should be prepared for lane shifts and a reduced 45 mph speed limit through the project area. Vehicles wider than 12 feet also will be restricted from using the ramp during work hours.
A full ramp closure is scheduled from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday on the following weekends:
- August 12 – 15
- August 19 – 22
- August 26 - 29
CDOT will be making additional notifications prior to each ramp closure and providing a signed detour route each weekend.
Work hours could be extended or additional weekend closures scheduled in order to complete the project by October 2016.
The prime contractor for the $2 million project is Truesdell Corp. of Tempe, AZ.
