Interstate 25 will be closed in both directions for long periods this weekend, potentially detouring travelers headed to the high country Saturday and Sunday morning.

The highway will be closed in both directions between Speer Boulevard and Interstate 70 from 11 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday, and 11 p.m. Saturday to 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Mark Aultman said.

The closures are a result of work on the 15th Street bridge replacement project, Aultman said.

In addition, 38th Avenue between Fox and Inca streets will be closed from 3 a.m. until noon Saturday in order to place commuter rail bridge girders over the roadway, according to RTD.
