Southbound I-25 down to one lane near CO 56 for emergency repairs

BERTHOUD — Tonight’s evening commute will be slower than normal on southbound I-25 near Colorado Highway 56.

The road will be reduced to one lane at the Little Thompson River Bridge which is just south of CO 56 and just before the Berthoud hill.

This reduction will allow crews to repair a dangerous pothole that has developed as well as repair guardrail that was taken out this morning when it was struck by a semi-truck. 

This lane closure is expected to go well into the evening. Detours on US 85 or US 287 are recommended.
