Crews to Permanently Close York Street On-Ramp to Westbound I-70 Overnight Oct. 14

DENVER—Crews overnight Sunday, Oct. 14 will permanently close the York Street on-ramp to westbound I-70 as they prepare to build a new Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Bridge and improve the final design of I-70.

Permanent Detour

Going forward, please take 46th Avenue east to Steele Street, and access westbound I-70 from the Steele Street/Vasquez Boulevard on-ramp.

Other Travel Impacts

• Later in the month, 46th Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction in the westbound lanes.
• Truck access to westbound I-70 from Steele/Vasquez will change slightly when this occurs.
