I-70 Bridge Repairs at Kipling & Garrison

About the Project

Beginning on Aug. 2, 2026, the Colorado Department of Transportation and its contracting partner Myers and Sons Construction will repair three bridges on Interstate 70, including the eastbound and westbound bridges over Kipling Street (Colorado Highway 391) and the westbound bridge over Garrison Street. The project is anticipated to be completed in late October.

Work on the Kipling Street bridges will include hydro-demolition, a process that uses high-pressure water to remove damaged concrete and prepare the bridge decks for repairs. Traditional bridge rehabilitation work will be completed on the westbound bridge over Garrison Street. Together, these improvements will restore the bridges, improve long-term reliability, and help provide a safer driving experience for motorists.

I-70 is one of Colorado’s most critical freight corridors, supporting the safe and efficient movement of goods across the state and throughout the region. This investment helps preserve and improve this vital transportation route, ensuring the corridor remains reliable for the trucking industry, local communities and the traveling public.
