EL PASO COUNTY —The Interstate 25 Overlay and MLK Bypass project will include a full-ramp closure for weekend work between Friday, September 23 and Monday, September 26. Work will include milling and paving of the ramp and bridge.

The westbound Highway 24 off-ramp to northbound I-25 at Exit 139 will be fully closed beginning on Friday, September 23 at 7:00 p.m. and reopen on Monday, September 26 at 5:00 a.m. The Nevada Avenue Exit 140 onto northbound I-25 will also be closed beginning on Sunday, September 25 at 5:00 a.m. and remain fully closed until Monday, September 26 at 5:00 a.m.

A detour will be specified near the project zone rerouting traffic to the Lake Avenue/Circle Drive Exit 138 during westbound Hwy 24 off-ramp full closure. A U-turn movement at Exit 138 upon exiting westbound Highway 24 onto southbound I-25 will allow traffic to reenter northbound I-25.
