I-25 express lane closed for road work

LARKSPUR, Colo. (KRDO) -- The express lane through the gap will be closed for several days according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).

Starting at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 17, and lasting until 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 23, the southbound I-25 Express Lane from Plum Creek Parkway (exit 181) in Castle Rock to the old southbound I-25 rest area near Larkspur will be closed.

CDOT says that the express Lane will be closed and motorists may not enter the lane via the skip or double white lines as crews will be actively working in the median and express Lane.
