Interstate-25 Fillmore Street to Garden of Gods Road Operational Improvements

Colorado Springs— Motorists will see pre-construction investigation drilling work on Interstate-25 (between Fillmore Street and Garden of the Gods Road). This work will require nighttime moving traffic control in the right lane and shoulder closures.

Traffic Impacts

Single lane and shoulder closures

• 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday, Mar. 27, Monday, Mar. 28, and Tuesday, Mar. 29, nightly
• Northbound and southbound I-25 - Mile Point 144-146
• All work is weather dependent and will be rescheduled if operations cannot be completed

Project Overview

Increased traffic from community growth and business development has created the need for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to initiate design and development of I-25 Auxiliary/Continuous Merge Lanes and other operational improvements in Colorado Springs from the Fillmore Street to Garden of the Gods Road exits. Improvements are in accordance with the previously completed Environmental Assessment.
