Construction workers need to install a moveable platform on a bridge column that will allow crews to build the bridge segment by segment, CDOT said in a news release Wednesday.
To install the platform, CDOT will close one lane of westbound I-70 at exit 244 for U.S. 6 from 9 p.m. Wednesday to 5 a.m. Thursday.
One eastbound lane will be closed at the same exit from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Saturday; 9 p.m. Monday to 5 a.m. Tuesday; and 9 p.m. Tuesday to 5 a.m. Wednesday so crews can remove some temporary structures on another column, state officials said.
Westbound drivers will merge into one lane and use U.S. 6 ramps to continue on I-70, while eastbound drivers will merge and exit at U.S. 6 and drive east on the U.S. 40 frontage road before getting back on I-70 at exit 248.
Construction may change based on the weather, and drivers can get updates on lane closures by texting by texting “floydhill” to 21000.
