A busy Interstate 25 frontage road near Fort Collins that closed for more than seven months while the Kechter Road bridge was rebuilt will close again, this time for three weeks starting in October.

A section of the I-25 Southwest Frontage Road north of Colorado Highway 392 from the Colorado Mountain RV entrance to just south of Larimer County Road 34E will be closed Oct. 3-21, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation news release. The project includes installing an underground drainage line, culvert and inlet as part of the 100-year flood prevention portion of North I-25 Express Lanes project.

Access to local residences and businesses will be maintained.

The road was closed Oct. 1, 2021, and reopened in mid-May to allow for the Kechter Road bridge to be torn down and rebuilt and a roundabout to be built at the frontage road's intersection with Kechter Road of as part of the North I-25 Express Lanes project.
