The Colorado Department of Transportation announced on April 15 that southbound Interstate 25 in Colorado Springs will experience lane and full closures between Fillmore Street and Garden of the Gods Road from April 16 through April 19.

The work includes overnight lane closures starting Thursday, April 16, when the left and middle lanes will be closed as crews cut into pavement for repairs. On Friday, April 17, bridge deck repairs and replacement of expansion devices on both ends of the bridge are scheduled.
