Preventive maintenance work on a bridge along Speer Boulevard will resume this week, according to a news releasefrom the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Double right-lane closures are planned on northbound and southbound Speer between Interstate 25 and Auraria Parkway beginning this week and lasting until July as crews complete maintenance on the bridge over the railroad tracks.

In July, work will shift, with double left-lane closures planned until September.

Two travel lanes will remain open during the project and sidewalk closures will reroute pedestrians to the Cherry Creek Trail as needed, according to the department.

The maintenance includes installing fresh asphalt, bridge deck repairs and replacing bridge expansion joints, according to the news release.

Last year, crews completed maintenance on bridges over the South Platte River and Little Raven Street before pausing the project for winter.

The bridge over the railroad tracks is the third and final bridge maintenance project along Speer and will be completed in late fall, officials say.
