PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — A new interchange project on I-25 in Pueblo will shutdown two southbound ramps on the interstate until the Spring of 2027.
It's at the Belmont interchange (Highway 50B) and I-25. The closures start this Friday at 7 p.m. The new improvements are expected to be done by the summer of 2027.
"The reason for the project is to replace the bridges over Fountain Creek, the UPRR Railroad and I-25," said Scott Dalton, a Project Director with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). "They're functionally obsolete and structurally, their life is pretty much over."
To get around this closure and to get to and from Highway 50B and I-25, you'll have to take Colorado Highway 47, so give yourself extra time.
