I-25 lane closures begin April 4 between S. Academy Blvd. and Santa Fe Ave.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Drivers should prepare for temporary lane closures along northbound and southbound I-25 while crews work on improvements between South Academy Boulevard and Santa Fe Avenue.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, there will be alternating left and right lane closures, on north and southbound I-25 between Monday, April 4 through Thursday, April 7. CDOT says these closures will happen during the evening hours.
Crews will be performing earthwork in the median and repairing a damaged guardrail.
