Lincoln Street bridge lane closures in place through next Friday

Commuters are advised to plan accordingly as Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) expedites repair work on a bridge adjacent to Speer Boulevard and travel lanes near the Colorado Convention Center.

Metal sheeting will cover a hole on the Lincoln Street bridge over Cherry Creek as it awaits concrete repairs next week.

Weather permitting, concrete will be poured next week, closing three travel lanes.

Those traveling northbound on Lincoln Street, between 6th and 7th avenues, should expect the two far-right travel lanes, one of which is a bus-only lane, to be closed.

Others traveling eastbound along 6th Avenue should anticipate one of the two left turn lanes onto Lincoln Street northbound to be closed.

“We expect the lane closures currently in place to remain in place through at least next Friday,” said DOTI spokesperson Nancy Kuhn.

Crews will also close a block of Champa Street through Monday, Feb. 19. 

A stretch of Champa Street in between the DCPA and the Colorado Convention Center will require a full closure beginning this Friday, Feb. 16, at midnight.

Now that major phases are complete on the Colorado Convention Center expansion, featuring an 80,000-square-foot multipurpose room and snazzy panoramic views, project crews will work to realign travel lanes adjacent to the facility.

The closure between 14th Street and Speer Boulevard will remain in place through Monday, Feb. 19, at 11:59 p.m.
