Northbound I-25 to close at night
T-REX officials will close northbound Interstate 25 between East Hampden Avenue and South Santa Fe Drive at 9 p.m. today and Thursday so workers can shift lanes between Hampden and East Yale Avenue.
The highway will reopen Thursday and Friday at 5:30 a.m. Southbound I-25 traffic will be unaffected by the closure, officials said.

58th Avenue work to cause delays
