I-70 over Ward Road Bridge Replacement

Travel Advisory - May 31 Traffic Shift
 

I-70 Lane Closures & Closure CO 58 On Ramp

Eastbound I-70 at Ward Rd/CO 72 (Exit 266)

7 p.m. Friday, May 31 to 7 a.m. Saturday, June 1

 
 
The Colorado Department of Transportation and Lobato Construction will implement an eastbound I-70 traffic shift at Ward Road (Exit 266) during overnight hours on Friday, May 31. During this shift, various lane closures will be taken on eastbound I-70 and the Colorado Highway 58 on ramp to eastbound I-70 will be closed, with detour routes in place. The closures are necessary while crews move temporary barrier, restripe the lanes, and shift eastbound I-70 traffic into a new alignment onto onsite detour pavement. This alignment will remain in place 24/7 while crews remove and replace the eastbound I-70 over Ward Road bridge structure.
