I-25 Traffic Alerts Issued for Monument and Colorado Springs Area This Weekend and Through Mid-October

Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 9, 2026 —

Motorists traveling on Interstate 25 in the Colorado Springs metropolitan area should prepare for significant traffic disruptions, including lane closures and potential delays, over the upcoming weekend and extending into mid-October. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has issued alerts detailing work impacting key sections of the interstate.

This weekend, drivers can anticipate lane closures and possible backups on I-25 in the vicinity of Monument. The disruptions are necessary to facilitate the replacement of weigh station equipment. Specific dates and times for these closures were not detailed, but motorists are advised to seek alternative routes or allow for extra travel time if their journeys are planned through this corridor during the weekend.

Further impacting commuters, overnight double-lane closures are scheduled along I-25 between Garden of the Gods Road and Fillmore Street. These closures are part of ongoing lane addition projects aimed at improving traffic flow and capacity. The work is slated to continue until approximately mid-October. The overnight nature of these closures is intended to minimize impact on daily commuter traffic, but drivers should still be aware of altered lane configurations and potential speed reductions during these periods.

Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about current traffic conditions by checking local transportation advisories. Authorities recommend planning ahead for any travel that will involve these segments of I-25 to avoid unexpected delays and ensure safety.
