Motorists traveling Interstate 25 near the site of last week’s massive sinkhole will be using three temporary northbound lanes for the next week and a half.
The Colorado Department of Transportation announced today that it will launch permanent repairs of the site on Tuesday, reversing an earlier decision to wait until spring.
CDOT spokeswoman Stacey Stegman said the change is expected to save $700,000 in repair work and take far less than the estimated month of work if it had been done later.
Permanent concrete repairs on the highway where the ground collapsed near the 58th Avenue exit will take about 10 days, Stegman said.
