CDOT Warns Drivers From Using I 225

Colorado's Department of Transportation is advising drivers to avoid I 225 for the rest of Friday.

The advisory comes due to necessary emergency repairs, in traffic lanes.

Plans had been to divert traffic from the south bound lanes, for the current construction project, but crews found damage to the transition area.

At this point there is no time table for when the repairs will be completed, or when all south and north bound lanes will be reopened.

Officials with CDOT had been planning on using the diversion route for nine months, whilst I 225 is widened and light rail tracks are added between Parker and Mississippi.
