Southbound I-25 to close for overnight work on Broomfield pedestrian bridge
Southbound Interstate 25 will close just north of Colo. 7 on Thursday night in Broomfield near Adams County, so that crews can install girders for a new pedestrian bridge.
The interstate will start closing one to two lanes at 8 p.m., with the full southbound closure going into effect at 10 p.m. Thursday and expected to reopen at 4 a.m. Friday, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation release. Southbound drivers will be directed to exit and immediately reenter the interstate at the Colo. 7 exit and on-ramp, the release states.
The pedestrian bridge work comes nearly a year after the transportation department started work on a new Park-and-Ride lot, Bustang ramps, a water quality pond and a pedestrian bridge crossing I-25, according to the release. The department aims to improve travel times and provide more reliable transportation options, with the project slated to be finished this fall.
The transportation department warns of slower traffic and delays for overnight drivers, the release states.
Northbound lanes will not be affected, the release states. In the event of bad weather, the closure will move to Sunday night.
