Traffic Alert: Ramp to Southbound I-25 from Broadway is closed.

Ramp to Southbound I-25 from Broadway is closed; New, elevated ramp will replace current ramp for better traffic flow

The closure of the on-ramp from Broadway to southbound Interstate 25 in Denver is part of the construction of a new on-ramp at Ohio Avenue, according to city officials.

The move to Ohio Avenue is aimed at improving traffic flow and safety, with the new ramp expected to be open by the end of the year. In the meantime, drivers can use alternative routes to access southbound I-25.

Additionally, some southbound Broadway lanes have been shifted to the west, and a left turn from Broadway onto eastbound Ohio Avenue is no longer allowed.

The new ramp will ease vehicle congestion and enhance safety as part of the I-25 and Broadway Travel and Safety Improvement Project.

There will not be any disruptions to RTD service at the I-25 and Broadway Station. Both the south entrance to the Broadway Station from Kentucky Avenue and the north entrance from Exposition Avenue and Bannock Street will remain open.

These new construction activities are part of a full slate of improvements to the interchange and surrounding area, including:

• Adding multi-use pathways for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Connecting the Broadway bike lane to the RTD Broadway station.
• Installing new traffic signals at Ohio Avenue between Broadway and Lincoln Street and at Broadway and Kentucky Avenue.
• Reconstruction of local streets, including Lincoln, Broadway, Kentucky and Ohio.
• Reconstruction of Kentucky Avenue, combining the existing intersection with the southbound I-25 off-ramp.

The improvements are designed to make travel safer for all and improve access to RTD’s Broadway Station for people who walk, roll, bike, and drive.
