Construction on County Line Road bridge set to close I-25 overnight May 13
DOUGLAS/EL PASO COUNTIES, Colo. (KRDO) Drivers should expect traffic impacts along I-25 at the County Line Road Interchange for reconstruction on the aging County Line Road bridge.
CDOT says the bridgework requires an overnight closure of northbound and southbound I-25 at the County Line Road Interchange.
That strip of I-25 will be closed from 8 p.m. on Thursday until 5 a.m. on Friday. Drivers say the traffic impacts could begin as early as 7 p.m. on Thursday.
CDOT says detours will be available for motorists.
For the northbound I-25 closure, drivers can funnel into one lane just south of the County Line Road bridge and use the northbound I-25 off-and-on ramps at County Line Road to navigate around the closure.
Work continues on the I-25 Gap project between Colorado Springs and Castle Rock on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021. The work includes the completion of the northern five miles, two bridges, two wildlife crossings, a new climbing lane for trucks, and nearly 60 percent of paving of the entire construction project. The project is scheduled to be complete in 2022. (Photo by Jerilee Bennett, The Gazette)

Snowbird and the other indigenous people who attended the protest felt the mascot is racists against their heritage. Supporters of the mascot said the Indians mascot was an honor and full of school tradition. About 50 people lined the street outside the school district’s administration building.
