TRAFFIC ADVISORY
FULL I-70 CLOSURES TO TAKE PLACE NEAR STATE HIGHWAY 58 THIS WEEK FOR BRIDGE WORK
JEFFERSON COUNTY - Monday, April 28th through Thursday, May 1st, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will completely close eastbound and westbound I-70 between Ward Road and 32nd Avenue from 9:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. each night. Crews will be conducting bridge work for the new ramp from eastbound I-70 to westbound State Highway 58.
During the closure, the following detour routes will be in place:
· Eastbound I-70: Motorists will be detoured to the 32nd Avenue/Youngfield Street exit where they will go north on Youngfield Street to 44th Avenue. Once on 44th Avenue, go east to the existing on-ramp to eastbound I-70.
· Westbound I-70: Motorists on westbound I-70 will take SH 58 west to McIntyre Street and then back on eastbound SH 58 in order to take the new ramp to westbound I-70.
In all, the project will construct, reconstruct or realign five ramps:
· A new ramp from eastbound I-70 to westbound SH 58 will be built
· A new ramp from eastbound SH 58 to westbound I-70 will be built
· The existing ramp from eastbound SH 58 to eastbound I-70 will be realigned and reconstructed without replacing the existing bridge
· The existing ramp from westbound I-70 to eastbound SH 58 will be realigned and reconstructed
· The existing ramp from Youngfield Street to eastbound I-70 will be relocated approximately ¼ mile to the south to accommodate a longer acceleration lane
