AURORA | An exit ramp on E-470 North in Aurora will be closed during parts of the weekend in order for crews to replace faded street signs with new ones that are more reflective. An E-470 spokesperson said a travel lane would remain open.

The repairs will be conducted along a mile and a half stretch starting at the 6th Parkway/Stephen D. Hogan Parkway exit in Aurora and continuing to the exit ramp to I-70 West, according to a news release from the E-470 Public Highway Authority.

“This work will require a full closure of the E-470 North exit ramp to I-70 West (exit 20B) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday,” the release said. “Detours will be in place and will direct people on E-470 North to take exit 20A (I-70 East) to reconnect with westbound I-70 at the interchange.” 

While the work is underway, one travel lane on E-470 North will remain open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The speed limit will also be reduced to 55 mph while work is taking place.
