Kechter Bridge demolition requires 4 night closures of I-25 starting Friday

TIMNATH – The Colorado Department of Transportation continues widening I-25 in northern Colorado. Crews will close northbound I-25 from Colorado Highway 392 to Harmony Road and southbound I-25 from Harmony Road to CO 392 to demolish the existing Kechter Road bridge creating room for construction of the new northbound I-25 lanes and the new Kechter Road bridge.

Once completed, Kechter Road over I-25 will feature a roundabout on the west side of I-25 that improves safety and traffic flow issues and provides increased pedestrian safety with new sidewalks, pedestrian crosswalks, and bike lanes in each direction.
