Reply #45: I-25 Through Both Pueblo and Colorado Springs Can Be a Real Nightmare [View All]

[CO Liberal]

The stretch through Pueblo was built back in the '50s and originally called the Pueblo Thruway. It was not built to Interstate standards, and they are currently redesigning it to make it safer. Right now, it features a sharp turn near Downtown Pueblo that is posted for a 55-MPH speed limit, and trucks regularly overturn on that curve.

I-25 in Colorado Springs has been under construction for the past few years. I was probably adequate when it was designed back in the '50s and Colroado Springs was a small city of 50,ooo people. It's totally inadequate now that there are 300,000 people in the area.
