Crews to Close I-25 Southbound On-Ramp at US 50 B Overnight

PUEBLO—From 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 6 to 5 a.m. Wednesday, March 7, crews will close the southbound exit 100A off-ramp as they repair the bridge on I-25 at US 50 B (Belmont Interchange).

Traffic will be detoured to the 29th Street interchange during the closure. Speeds will be reduced to 45 mph through the work zone. The closure is necessary for crews to perform bridge repairs to extend the life of the structure.

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 began in July 2017 and will improve surface quality, enhance safety and provide improved pedestrian crossings, including upgrading ramps to Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The project is scheduled to be complete by June 2018.
