3) I-5 ramps at Alberta to close
A reminder that the Interstate 5 southbound exit ramp (Exit 303) to N Alberta Street/Swan Island will close for a week starting at 9 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 5 and re-opening at 9 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 12. Signs will direct travelers to detours, but all motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists in Overlook should exercise extra caution as some drivers will be driving down unfamiliar streets.
The recommended detour (see map) is out to NE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. Residents of Overlook, however, probably would be better served exiting at N Rosa Parks Way and making a left to Interstate, Denver or Greeley.
The I-5 northbound on-ramp from Alberta will close for a week from Sunday, Jan. 12, at 9 p.m. to Sunday, Jan. 19 at 9 p.m.
