All lanes will reopen by 12 p.m. on Friday, June 1.

Repair work requires the full closure of South CO 9 between the eastbound and westbound I-70 ramps. All ramps will remain open during the full closure. The signed detour routes use adjacent interchanges to turn around.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Colorado Department of Transportation and contractor partner, A & S Construction, have completed concrete curb ramp replacement between I-70 and Main Street sooner than anticipated. Once temperatures are favorable for asphalt paving in July, crews will mill and replace the top two inches of the existing roadway. Milling and paving work will be scheduled overnight to minimize traffic and access impacts. Project completion is expected in September 2018.The total construction cost is approximately $3.3 million and the project is funded through state-wide resurfacing funds.
