On Sunday, Nov. 8 the Colorado Department of Transportation will pour the bridge deck for the northern portion of the new 104th Avenue bridge over Interstate 25.

The work will require a full closure of northbound and southbound I-25 from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. with single lane closures starting at 7 p.m. During the full closure of I-25, drivers will be detoured via the on and off ramps at 104th Avenue.

The existing 104th Avenue bridge over I-25 was originally constructed in 1962 and is one of Colorado’s structurally deficient bridges. When complete, the new bridge will accommodate an additional left turn lane from eastbound 104th Avenue to northbound I-25.

CDOT is funding the bridge replacement and the Northglenn Urban Renewal Authority is funding the aesthetic improvements which will include upgraded bridge rail and upgraded bridge lighting similar to the existing lighting on the 112th Avenue overpass bridge. Aesthetic improvements also include cornerstone monuments at the four ends of the bridge and "Northglenn" monument signage mounted to an upgraded retaining wall.

The $6.5 million project is scheduled to be complete by the end of September 2010. For more information on the project visit I-25/104th Project.
