The Colorado Department of Transportation along with contractor Kraemer North America, will begin emergency repairs to a portion of the Sky Ridge Avenue Bridge over I-25 between Ridgegate Parkway and Lincoln Avenue. These repairs will involve removing a portion of the structure and completely replacing it with a new girder and bridge deck.
This work will require several overnight I-25 closures with major traffic impacts through June. In advance of the work, CDOT will close an auxiliary lane between Ridgegate Parkway and Lincoln Avenue on Wednesday, May 19 for staging equipment, which may cause some minor delays during peak travel periods.
All work is scheduled to be completed prior to the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
