Tri-County Health Department is working with numerous sites in Commerce City regarding plague-infested fleas affecting the prairie dog colonies in the region. Several areas have been closed voluntarily, signs have been posted, and the prairie dogs’ holes are being treated with insecticide to kill any fleas that could transmit the disease to prairie dogs, humans, and pets. These areas are affected until further notice:

On the night of Sunday, Aug. 4,  the eastbound I-76 ramp to southbound I-25 will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. while crews repair the bridge deck and make other safety improvements. CDOT anticipates medium travel impact to motorists traveling the affected route during overnight hours.
