Motorists in Pueblo will face a temporary closure of eastbound US Highway 50B this weekend. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and its contractor, SEMA Construction, are undertaking drainage improvements as part of the Interstate 25 and US 50B Interchange project. This work involves installing new pipes beneath the eastbound lanes.
The closure affects eastbound US 50B between I-25 and Hudson Avenue/Bonforte Boulevard. According to CDOT, the measure is necessary to ensure public safety during construction.
A detour will be in place for drivers traveling east on US 50B. Motorists are advised to use northbound I-25, take the US 50B/CO 47 off-ramp, and continue east on CO 47 (Exit 101) to access US 50.
