Information courtesy of the Town of Castle Rock:
The overnight Interstate 25 closures scheduled for this week to place bridge structures over the interstate as part of the Town’s ongoing Crystal Valley interchange project have been postponed.
Last night, Feb. 23, during an overnight operation to place new bridge structures over Interstate 25, a crane became inoperable. Fortunately, no injuries or damage occurred. In response, the crew promptly conducted a safety evaluation to ensure the site was safe and worked diligently to reopen the road to traffic early this morning.
Throughout this week, please watch for intermittent nighttime lane closures on I-25, near Exit 181 (Plum Creek Parkway), so that the crew can demobilize the equipment staged in the median. Delays, if any, are expected to have minimal impacts. Signs along the roadside will provide the latest information.
The I-25 closures to complete bridge structure installation are expected to be rescheduled overnight for a Sunday through Wednesday in March when traffic volumes are typically lower on I-25. Closure dates for the bridge structure work will be communicated once confirmed.
