Pueblo drivers take note – the Fourth Street bridge will be slimmed down today to just one lane each way, so Colorado Department of Transportation planners are advising drivers to consider alternate routes over the Arkansas River through Nov. 25, the Pueblo Chieftain reports.

Construction crews are beginning more extensive work on the new bridge this week and will be narrowing the traffic flow on the existing span.

Essentially, the bridge will handle only one lane of traffic in each direction and the maximum speed limit will be 25 mph. Those lane limits will be in place through November.

Alternate routes over the river are the Main Street bridge, Interstate 25 or Pueblo Boulevard.
