Lane closures are planned next week on Interstate 25 east of Erie as crews work to build a new pedestrian bridge over the highway.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, northbound I-25 at Colorado 7 is scheduled to close Monday evening. The southbound lanes are scheduled to close on December 9th. Each night, one lane will close at 8:00 p.m., two lanes will close at 9:00 p.m., and all lanes will close at 11:00 p.m. All lanes are scheduled to reopen at 5:00 a.m
Traffic is directed via the Colo exit and entry ramps. 7 routed around the blockage. CDOT says motorists can expect slower traffic in the area during the closures.
The construction of the pedestrian bridge is part of the I-25 and Colo. 7 Interim Mobility Hub project of the department, which will also include a park-and-ride lot, Bustang slide ramps and a water quality pond. The construction work is expected to be completed in autumn 2026.
