Travel Advisory

February 22, 2022 - Northeastern Colorado

LOVELAND – As the Colorado Department of Transportation continues roadway improvements on I-25, crews will be setting girders on the new Kechter Road bridge over I-25, which will require a full closure of I-25 between Colorado Highway 392 and Harmony Road for two nights to safely set the girders.

A new sign structure installation is required south of the new US Highway 34 and I-25 interchange. Crews will also be closing I-25 between Colorado Highway 402 and US 34 for two nights to safely install new sign structures over I-25.

Once completed, this project will also increase capacity on I-25 by adding an Express Lane in both directions, constructing inside and outside shoulders, and replacing aging bridges. Kechter Road over I-25 will feature a roundabout on the west side of I-25 that improves safety and traffic flow issues, and provides increase pedestrian safety with new sidewalks, pedestrian crosswalks and bike lanes in each direction. The project will also improve multimodal access to regional transit.
