FLOYD HILL, Colorado – It feels like construction along I-70 in Colorado will never end. Lane closures, lane shifts, slow-speed sections, etc. They just won’t come to an end. And, as long as the Floyd Hill Project continues (it’s expected not to end until 2028), that will remain true.
This week’s closures include a whole host of closures and detours, like the daytime closure of the westbound I-70 off-ramp to County Road 65 (Exit 248) between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, June 24, a daytime, right-lane closure on westbound I-70 between Exit 248 and Exit 247 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 27, and alternating single-lane traffic on eastbound US 40 between Exit 248 and 247 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, June 24.
