DENVER â The weekend long closure of Interstate 70 in Denver will make way for the Mile High Shift come Monday morning.
Both directions of travel on I-70 through parts of the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood in north Denver will be shifted onto the completed westbound lanes of the lowered section. The shift begins at 5 a.m. Monday.
But in the meantime, the interstate is closed from Washington Street to I-270. Eastbound traffic is being diverted to I-25 north to I-76 east and then onto I-270 south. Westbound traffic is being diverted onto I-270 north to I-76 west and then onto I-25 south.
The overhaul of Interstate 70 near Colorado Boulevard in central Denver, Colo is hitting a milestone later in May when traffic will be shifted to the new underpass.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment just reported nearly 150 new COVID-19 outbreaks identified in the past week. Well over half of them are located in four counties, including Denver, that are currently at Level Red on the agency s dial dashboard, a system that transitioned from compulsory to advisory on April 16.
The CDPHE considers an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location are confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period are paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis. The vast majority of businesses and facilities identified as outbreaks remain open while working with the department to monitor symptoms and prevent future infections.
We have heard about “racist” statues. The charge of “racist,” used to any degree real or perceived, has become a powerful weapon among those pushing swift and widespread cultural and political revolution.
The next big thing in their crusade will be “racist” highways that must be destroyed like statues of Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee. Racial justice activists hope Pete Buttigieg, President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for transportation secretary, will lead the charge. His tweet about highways emboldens them.
“Black and brown neighborhoods have been disproportionately divided by highway projects or left isolated by the lack of adequate transit and transportation resources. In the Biden-Harris administration, we will make righting these wrongs an imperative,” Buttigieg tweeted on Dec. 20.
