Cable rail installation project to begin north of Pueblo on I-25

Motorists should expect overnight median shoulder closures and inside single lane closures starting April 6

Pueblo County — The Colorado Department of Transportation and its contract partner Siete, Inc. will start installing cable rail in the median of Interstate 25 just north of Pueblo on April 6. Work will take place on I-25 between Mile Point 108.5 and MP 114.1.

The cable rail installation will require some grading work, and cleaning culverts and inlets to address drainage. The contractor will also install a weed barrier and update the existing guardrail.

This project will significantly improve the safety of motorists along the corridor. The cable rail will act as a barrier, preventing vehicles from crossing the median and entering oncoming traffic lanes.

Traffic Impacts 

Beginning, Monday, April 6, motorists should expect the following impacts:

  • Work hours 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday through Thursday.

  • Median shoulder closures and some inside single lane closures will take place within the work zone.

  • Motorists are urged to drive with caution, heed all signs, and leave plenty of following distance when traveling through the area.

  • Construction schedules could change depending on the weather.  Go to COtrip.org for the latest information on road conditions.
