Adams County CoVid-19 Response and Recovery

I/76/I-25 Travel Advisory

Archive
Posted on: July 25, 2019

On the nights of Sunday, July 28 through Thursday, August 1, the eastbound I-76 ramp to southbound I-25 will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. while crews patch the bridge deck and make other safety improvements. These night closures are necessary to restore structural integrity to the ramp at one of the state's busiest interchanges.  CDOT anticipates medium travel impact to motorists traveling the affected route during overnight hours. The project supports CDOT's new Whole System, Whole Safety initiative. 

Detour Information
During the nighttime ramp closure, traffic will be detoured onto I-25 northbound to the 84th Avenue exit (Exit 219). There, signs will direct motorists to bear left on 84th to the I-25 southbound on-ramp. The detour will add approx. 6 miles and 10 minutes to travel times. The ramp will reopen by 5:30 a.m. each morning. 

For more information, call the project hotline at 720.220.1398, email  [email protected], or visit CDOT.
