Interstate 70 will be completely closed for construction from the Steele/Vasquez exists to the Interstate 270 interchange this weekend.
According to Denverite, the shutdown starts at 10 p.m. Friday and ends 5 a.m. Monday. If you do need to pass through there, CDOT suggests taking Interstate 25 to I-270 (or I-270 to I-25 in the other direction, of course).
The closure is a part of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Central 70 Project.
Crews will be setting girders for the replacement bridge at Colorado Boulevard over I-70 and starting demolition on the bridge at I-270.
Here are the detours, shared by CDOT:
Westbound: westbound I-70 traffic will enter northbound I-270, use the off-ramp to westbound I-76, take southbound I-25 and exit onto westbound I-70.
Eastbound: to detour around the closure, eastbound I-70 traffic will enter onto northbound I-25, use the off-ramp to eastbound I-76, take southbound I-270 and exit onto eastbound I-70. Traffic needing to enter I-70 just before Steele/Vasquez may still do so.
