The Weld County Road 38 bridge over Interstate 25 near Mead is scheduled to reopen Friday, after the Colorado Department of Transportation finished construction on the new bridge.

Crews demolished the previous bridge and built a new bridge, adding an adjacent 8-foot-wide sidewalk. The previous bridge was built in 1960, and a larger bridge was needed to span the widened section of I-25, according to a CDOT news release.

The road was closed for construction in June and was initially set to be closed through December, the release said.

The bridge construction is part of the I-25 North Express Lanes Project from Mead to Berthoud, an ongoing project that began in May 2024.
