Colorado Department of Transportation works to improve traffic flow on northbound I-225

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is working to improve traffic flow on northbound I-225 in Denver. Crews are focused on the stretch between I-25 and Yosemite Street, where CDOT says it will add an extra through lane to reduce congestion. The project also includes resurfacing and restriping the roadway and improving local infrastructure to create a smoother, safer driving surface and reduce general delays and travel time. CDOT will add drainage improvements to help prevent flooding, protect roadway infrastructure, and safeguard local water quality during weather. Work will be done in both Denver and Arapahoe counties, costing about $1.9 million and expected to finish in December, with an estimated 10-minute delays.
