COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — If you are planning to head northbound along I-25 through Colorado Springs in the evening hours this week, expect some delays.
Starting Tuesday night, crews will work to close northbound lanes of I-25 between Fillmore Street and Garden of the Gods Road, starting at 7: 00 p.m. Double lane closures will last from 10:00 p.m. - 5:00 a.m., and the Colorado Department of Transportation hopes to have all lanes back open on Wednesday by 6:00 a.m.
A full closure of northbound I-25 is scheduled for Friday, April 3, through Monday, April 6. Starting at 10:00 p.m. on all weekend nights, the closure will allow crews to replace the bridge deck at Garden of the Gods.
During this time period, the Fillmore Street on-ramp to northbound I-25 will be fully closed. A map of detours that will be in the area is pictured above.
More closures will follow in April as crews will work to complete the deck repairs needed.
