Denver Adds Lane to I-225 to Alleviate Traffic Congestion
What happened
The Colorado Department of Transportation is managing a $1.9 million project to add a through lane to northbound Interstate 225 in south Denver. The project will increase the continuous lanes on northbound I-225 between Interstate 25 and South Yosemite Street to four. Crews will also resurface the roadway and improve drainage infrastructure, with construction expected to continue into December.
