The worst crash of the morning was on I-225. The ramp to WB I-70 was blocked for nearly an hour and that made for a tough commute across Aurora. Even the SB side was very heavy. Other from that the sun was the biggest factor to why we were so slow on the freeways.

Denver Public Works is rehabilitating the University Boulevard Bridge over Cherry Creek between Cherry Creek Drive North and Cherry Creek Drive South. Construction will begin today and is scheduled to be completed by August 15, 2008.
Scope of work includes:
• Removing and replacing the existing median
• Replacement of the joints in both bridges
• Reconstructing the traffic signals on the north side of the project
• Concrete pavement replacement on the south side of the project
The project will be built in four phases. During each phase two lanes of traffic will remain open in each direction, as well as left turn lanes onto Cherry Creek Drive North and Cherry Creek Drive South. The bike path under the bridges will remain open during construction with some minor closures. Signs will be in place informing residents of the lane closures and construction.
