Eastbound I-80 to northbound I-25 ramp to close for two weeks

The ramp from eastbound Interstate 80 to northbound Interstate 25 will close for about two weeks beginning Tuesday, Sept. 17, for concrete repair work.

Traffic will be detoured onto West Lincolnway and then to northbound I-25.

I-80 access to southbound I-25 will not be affected, nor will work affect I-25 southbound to I-80 eastbound traffic.

The restriction is necessary to repair concrete slabs on the ramp and allow the repaired slabs time to cure.

Drivers should plan ahead for the closure and use alternate routes if necessary.
