For Denver drivers anticipating the usual routes along Broadway and Walsh Place, a new temporary travel configuration has kicked into gear. As part of the ongoing I-25 and Broadway Travel and Safety Improvement Project, the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) has implemented a detour directing the flow of traffic into modified streams, this move is intended to facilitate reconstruction work on Walsh Place, which started post haste following February 13th's announcement.
Under this new scheme, starting February 17, as the city's crews dig into the pandemonium of construction, northbound travelers on Broadway are advised to veer right onto Ohio Street and then make a left onto Lincoln to continue northward. In a workaround that will last for roughly six weeks, the single lane that extends from the northbound I-25 off-ramp will funnel into Lincoln through the designated detour zone, as detailed by the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.
For those hurtling west on Ohio Street, past the threshold of Lincoln Street, there's a pivot in the narrative, right turns onto Lincoln are permissible, but this new dance requires a detour for vehicles that need access to northbound I-25 via Alameda Avenue. Denver authorities project that these reroutes, though potentially disruptive to the accustomed patterns of travel, will smooth out as drivers adjust to the interlude in normalcy.
