Construction

As anticipated, CDOT and it's Contractors completed all construction on the I-25 Climbing Lanes, Phase I project in October 2000!

Construction is Complete!

The I-25 Climbing Lanes, Phase I project was opened to traffic in September 2000! There are now three lanes open northbound and southbound from Lincoln Avenue Interchange to the Castle Pines Parkway Interchange. Since completion traffic flow has improved drastically and commuters experience a much smoother ride both on their way to work and on their way home.

Thank You to all who participated and Thank You to the traveling public and area residents for all of your patience during construction!

Please Enjoy a safer and more convenient trip when you use this facility!

NOTE: The South I-25 Corridor and US 85 Corridor EIS has been completed and the ROD has been signed. Read the results. South I-25 Corridor and US 85 Corridor EIS
