Fire Season is Here – Wildfire season is here. As you're traveling the I-25 South Gap for a camping trip, hiking or other outdoor activity, we are asking for your help to prevent wildfires in our beautiful state! Please:

• Check the regional/state fire restrictions and for high winds before creating an outdoor fire
• Never leave any fire unattended
• Completely extinguish any outdoor fire you create with water and dirt
• Don’t throw cigarettes, other smoking materials or matches on the ground or out of vehicle windows
• Be mindful when operating equipment outdoors that can create heat or sparks
• Speak up and alert authorities if you suspect someone is in danger of starting a wildfire

Remember: All construction schedules described below are weather-dependent and could change.

I-25 Closures for Bridge Work at County Line
Overnight Tuesday, May 11, and Wednesday, May 12, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., crews will have closures of both northbound and southbound I-25 beneath the County Line Road bridge (exit 163) near Monument to pour the County Line bridge deck. In addition to the I-25 closures, access across the County Line Road bridge will also be closed.
 
Motorists will detour using the on- and off-ramps at the County Line Road interchange. For the northbound I-25 closure, motorists will funnel into one lane just south of the County Line Road bridge and use the northbound I-25 off- and on-ramps at County Line Road to navigate around the closure. For the southbound I-25 closure, motorists will funnel into one lane just north of the County Line Road bridge and use the southbound I-25 off- and on-ramps at County Line Road bridge to navigate around the closure.
 
For access across the County Line Road bridge, use the Colorado Highway 105 interchange (exit 161). Motorists should expect additional travel times of up to 20 minutes.
 
These impacts are weather-dependent and subject to change. Check our Facebook page and website for updates on this work.
