DENVER — All lanes of I-25 shut down between E 58th Ave. and I-70 for about an hour Monday morning after wind blew down an overhead sign, according to an Adams County Fire Rescue post on the social media site X.
All lanes of I-25 have been shut down as wind blew down a large overhead sign just north of 53rd on I-25, between 58th and I-70. Crews are cutting off about 3 feet of the pole so cars can eventually pass. @ColoradoDOT will also assist by dragging sign off highway. pic.twitter.com/PFSMfCeTLg

This happened just after 4:30 a.m. Monday just north of 53rd Pl., Adams County Fire Rescue said. Traffic started to get through in the right-hand lanes about an hour later.
But the left lanes remain blocked because the sign hit a semi-truck, Sgt. Adam Sherman with the Adams County Sheriff's Office told Denver7. The driver wasn't hurt. But the left-hand lanes will need to be cleared before they can reopen.
Crews cut off about 3 feet of the pole so cars could eventually pass, Adams County Fire Rescue said.
Colorado Department of Transportation helped Adams County Fire Rescue to drag the sign off the highway.
