Southeastern Colorado / CDOT Region 2 – PUEBLO – Rehabilitation of the bridge on Interstate 25 at US 50 B (98A - Belmont Interchange) will require the following:

Sunday, May 20th   

  • Beginning at the Eagleridge interchange (Exit 102) southbound traffic may encounter rolling closures to the Highway 50B interchange from 10:00 PM to 5:00 am, the following morning in order to move equipment for bridge repair.  

  • Westbound US 50B southbound on-ramp to I-25 to be closed from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am the following morning.  Traffic will be detoured onto the northbound on-ramp to I-25 to the 29th Street exit where motorists can then go southbound on I-25.  

  • The southbound and northbound left lanes on I-25 will also be closed from 8:00 pm until 5:00 am, the following morning, as crews perform bridge repairs.

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 of 2017 and 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 of 2018.
