SAFETY ALERT
Stay on Designated Detour Routes

The Colorado Department of Transportation would like to remind trail users to stay on all designated trail detour routes. These detour routes have been constructed for the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists to avoid the Interstate-25 Cimarron project construction zone. Signs will be posted to indicate the restricted construction areas. Police have the authority to issue tickets for anyone that enters the restricted construction zone. Please remember this is for your own safety. Please help by passing this information on to your constituents/contacts. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
