There will be double right-lane closures on northbound and southbound Speer between Interstate 25 and Auraria Parkway beginning this week and lasting until July as crews complete maintenance on the bridge over the railroad tracks.
In July, work will shift to the left lanes and there will be double left-lane closures until September. Two travel lanes will remain open during the project and sidewalk closures will reroute pedestrians to the Cherry Creek Trail as needed, according to the department.
The maintenance includes installing fresh asphalt, bridge deck repairs and replacing bridge expansion joints, according to the release.
Last year, crews completed maintenance on bridges over the South Platte River and Little Raven Street before pausing the project for winter.
The bridge over the railroad tracks is the third and final bridge maintenance project along Speer Boulevard and will be completed in late fall, officials say.
