CO 119 project related CDOT road closures and updates

Effective immediately, 71st Street, on the west side of CO 119 (the "Diagonal") from Monarch Road to CO 119, is closed to all modes of transportation through May 2025. See the accompanying map for detour information or visit the CDOT website). This closure is required for the safety of crews working to tie in new southbound CO 119 to existing CO 119 infrastructure as part of the CO 119 Safety, Mobility & Bikeway Improvements Project.

Travel delays due to the new configuration at Jay Road and CO 119 are being monitored by CDOT, but are expected to continue through early 2025. Commuters and travelers are encouraged to take alternate routes during this construction period.

55th Street through the median between northbound and southbound CO 119 is closed permanently. Those traveling southbound on CO 119 wishing to access 55th Street on the east side of CO 119 are required to continue past the previous 55th Street exit to Jay Road, then turn left across the median and again left onto the northbound lanes to reach 55th Street. See a schematic map of the proposed modifications accompanying this article or on the CDOT website.

IBM Drive, west of CO 119 continuing to IBM East Loop Road, is closed and will remain so until the end to 2025. Southbound travelers on CO 119 wishing to access the business park near IBM Drive will need to continue traveling south to 63rd Street, turn right to head north on 63rd Street, then turn east on Monarch Road and into the business parking lots. Detour signs are posted. See the accompanying map or visit the CDOT website for more information.
