(CBS4) - Coloradans should be aware about a full closure on Interstate 76 between Federal and Sheridan Boulevards starting Monday night. The closure was delayed from Sept. 9 because of weather.
Crews will be welding a bridge as part of the Clear Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project.
The interstate will be closed for a total of 20 nights between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., only on Mondays through Thursdays. The work is expected to last until Oct. 15.
