|
A reminder about the I-70 overpass work and road closures tomorrow, 9/12 through Saturday, 9/14. If possible, please avoid the area/use alternate routes.
-
Thursday, 9/12 and Friday, 9/13 the Northbound lane (only) of the overpass will be closed to all traffic for concrete work. This means Westbound I-70 traffic will be able to exit I-70 using the Westbound off ramp (exit #140) and enter Gypsum but motorists will not be able to get on I-70 Westbound from Gypsum. To get on I-70 Westbound motorist will need to take the frontage road to Dotsero (exit #133).
Note that the I-70 Eastbound on and off ramps will remain accessible and open Thursday and Friday.
- On Saturday, 9/14 both North & Southbound lanes on the overpass will be closed for paving work. This means the Gypsum exit (#140) is basically closed. Traffic from the Westbound I-70 off ramp will not be able to enter into Gypsum on Saturday. Westbound traffic needing to get into Gypsum will need to exit in Eagle (exit #147) and use Hwy 6. Traffic needing to head onto I-70 Westbound will need to take the frontage road to Dotsero and enter I-70 there at exit #133.
However, access to amenities on the North side of the highway (Dry Lake Motocross Track, Gypsum Gun Club and Trail Gulch Road/ BLM) is still be possible using exit #140 on Saturday. This means Gypsum residents wanting to access any of the north side amenities on Saturday will need to go to Eagle and get on I-70 Westbound then exit at Gypsum. When leaving any of these north side amenities, Gypsum residents will need to get on I-70 Westbound at Gypsum and exit at Dotsero (exit #133).
Note that the I-70 Eastbound on and off ramps will remain accessible and open on Saturday.
