Southwest I-25 Frontage Road Near Timnath Closed for Underground Drainage Installation October 3-21

As the Colorado Department of Transportation continues I-25 widening and drainage improvements, crews will install an underground drainage line, culvert, and inlet under the Southwest Frontage Road between Colorado Highway 392 and Kechter Road as part of the 100-year flood prevention portion of this project.

To safely place the new underground drainage system, a full closure of the SW Frontage Road from north of CO 392 (the Colorado Mountain RV entrance) to just south of County Road 34E will take place October 3-21.

When complete, the project will increase capacity on I-25 by adding an Express Lane in both directions, constructing inside and outside shoulders, and replacing other aging bridges. The project will also improve multimodal access to regional transit throughout the corridor.

TRAVEL IMPACTS:

Full closures of the SW Frontage Road from north of the Colorado Mountain RV entrance to just south of County Road 34E will take place from 6 am, October 3, until 5 pm, October 21. Access to local residences and businesses will be maintained. I-25 traffic will not be impacted during drainage installation.
