Additional Closures:
Due to supplier issues, the temporary closure of Valley Road under I-25 has been rescheduled to start on Monday, March 31 at 9 p.m. This ongoing closure, in place through summer 2025, will allow crews to install bridge girders over the road on Monday and Tuesday night and perform additional work to reconstruct the bridge. Motorists should plan accordingly as no detour route is available.
The temporary closure of Weld County Road 32 under I-25, east of Mead, has also been rescheduled to April 2 - 5, 7 and 8, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., to allow crews to install new bridge girders over the roadway.
