Work on the $114 million I-25/US 50B Interchange project began in December 2024. During construction, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) said crews will build five new bridge structures, retaining and noise walls, roadway and ramp reconstruction, embankment, safety improvements, drainage, and erosion control.
Once complete, the interchange will be located just north of the current interchange and will operate as a diverging diamond interchange, “to improve drivability and provide safer driving conditions for motorists.” The project is scheduled for completion in early summer 2027.
