Dec 16, 2024
Another big construction project in our community is moving forward. Monday, there was a ground breaking ceremony on the I-25 and Highway 50B (Belmont) interchange project in Pueblo.The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) says this part of the New Pueblo Freeway Project. This project will improve safety along a busy road by creating a diverging diamond. "You know, we all we all fear change," said Amber Shipley with CDOT. "We're resistant to change, but the divergent diamond is a proven safety measure in highway development."CDOT also says this project is an important part of their 10-year plan, and will improve safety for the Pueblo community by creating a more reliable and effective route for travelers. The project won't be complete until 2027.
