Good news for Pueblo drivers: The Interstate 25 resurfacing project is complete, per a report from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). Working with Martin Marietta, the project spanned from mile point 92 just south of Pueblo to MP 102, near Eagleridge Boulevard. "This resurfacing project was a regional priority for CDOT," said Shane Ferguson, CDOT regional transportation director, as obtained by CDOT. "We are pleased that I-25 through the City of Pueblo is now improved."
Driven to provide a smoother surface, the finished project is set to enhance drivability and safety for the corridor’s many users. The work included milling the old pavement, laying down new asphalt, installing rumble strips, and replacing guardrails and pavement markers, tasks described by CDOT officials who hailed themselves. The new asphalt was expected to last around 10 years. Highlighted by the resurfacing at 13th Street and Pueblo Boulevard, these improvements should yield tangible benefits for motorists.
For those planning to travel, CDOT urges staying informed about weather forecasts, anticipated travel impacts, and current road conditions. A suite of resources, including COtrip.org and the COtrip Planner app, is available to help motorists "know before you go." Updates on ongoing projects and travel advisories can also be received by signing up for alerts or checking scheduled lane closures online.
