Scott Dalton with CDOT talks to Dave Moore about big changes coming to I-25 and Highway 50B.
You may have noticed construction started in the area in November 2024. Dalton explains the timeline of the program and why they chose to make it a diverging diamond with a signal at the top.
This project is located in Pueblo on I-25 from Mile Point 99.7 to MP 101.4 and on US 50 from MP 315.9 to MP 316.6. Work consists of building five new bridge structures, retaining walls, noise walls, and more along the five mile stretch of road.
It is going to be a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). The DDI design was selected for this location to address congestion, improve safety.
Similar interchanges are located at Fillmore Street and I-25 and Research Parkway and Powers Boulevard in Colorado Springs. This will be the first DDI constructed in Pueblo.
When driving a DDI, motorists proceed through a traffic signal upon entering the interchange and simply follow their lane to the opposite side of the roadway. Left-turn movements are eliminated with a DDI, which minimizes T-bone type crashes.
The project is expected to be completed in early summer 2027.
