As part of the Colorado Department of Transportation's I-70 over Ward Road Bridge Replacement project, the Ward Road/Colorado Highway 72 on ramp to westbound Interstate 70 will be fully closed from 7 p.m. Friday, May 3 to approximately 6 a.m. Monday, May 6, with detour routes in place. A single right lane closure on westbound I-70 will also be taken during this period. The continuous closures are necessary while crews shift temporary barrier, remove old asphalt and concrete, fast track pave westbound I-70 within the project limits, and place a special asphalt coating on the new westbound I-70 bridge surface for added durability.
