Massive pothole repair will close lane of I-25 Tuesday

Repairing a massive pothole will temporarily close one lane of Interstate 25 on Tuesday.

Beginning at 10 a.m., the right lane of the northbound interstate will be closed at the Northgate/Gleneagle Drive interchange so crews can fill a pothole 6 feet wide, 2 feet long and 6 inches deep.

The speed limit in the work area will be reduced from 75 to 55 mph.

The repairs include part of the off-ramp lane, but access will remain from I-25 to Northgate/Gleneagle.

Extensive delays are expected, and alternate routes are advised, including State Highway 83. Work is expected to be completed by 1 p.m.

CDOT is performing the work during the day since the asphalt requires warmer temperatures to be effective.
