EL PASO COUNTY — The Colorado Department of Transportation on August 10 will begin construction southbound on Interstate 25 at mile point 139.70 at Nevada Avenue, and end north of the Lake Avenue exit at mile point 138.20 on Interstate 25. This project will include asphalt work, replacement of bridge joint, and deck repairs. All work for this project is expected to occur overnight.

All work on the project is expected to be completed in early 2017. Schmidt Construction of Colorado Springs, Colorado, will perform as prime contractor on this $5.2 million project.
