US 50B On-Ramp to Southbound I-25 Closed Overnight April 4 for Bridge Repairs

PUEBLO—From 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 4 through 5 a.m. Thursday, April 5, travelers can expect a closure of the westbound US Highway 50B on-ramp to southbound I-25 for bridge repairs. To detour around this closure, travelers can take the northbound on-ramp to I-25, take the 29th street exit and go south on I-25.

Speeds will be reduced to 45 mph through the work zone.

This work is part of the $10 million, CO 96 (4th Street) improvement project, which includes intersection renovation, signal replacement, resurfacing and bridge rehabilitation. Work—which started in July 2017—will improve surface quality, enhance safety and provide improved pedestrian crossings, including upgrading ADA ramps to current standards. The project is scheduled to be complete by June 2018.
