Interstate 25 will be closed in both directions near the exit for Colorado 7 north of metro Denver on Thursday night for construction on a pedestrian bridge.
Southbound I-25 drivers will be directed to use exit 229 for Colorado 7 and then immediately get back on the interstate at the following on-ramp between 10 p.m. Thursday and 4 a.m. Friday, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation news release.
Northbound I-25 drivers will also take exit 229 and can immediately rejoin the interstate, but from 11 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday, the release states.
Crews will use the closure to lay the bridge deck for a forthcoming passenger bridge stretching over I-25 in the area bordering Broomfield and Adams counties, according to the .
Drivers should expect delays and use alternate routes, the release advises.
The pedestrian bridge work comes about a month after the on the same planned bridge in the area. The project, dubbed the I-25 & Colorado 7 Interim Mobility Hub, will include a new Park-and-Ride lot, Bustang ramps, a water quality pond and the pedestrian bridge crossing I-25, according to the transportation department’s website.
The department aims to improve travel times and provide more reliable transportation options with the project that is slated to be finished this fall.
