Denver Adds Lane to I-225 to Alleviate Traffic Congestion

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.

The addition of the lane is intended to reduce delays and travel time caused by traffic merging from Interstate 25 onto Interstate 225. By improving traffic flow and reducing bottlenecks, the project aims to enhance regional transportation logistics in the Denver area.
