Massive overhead sign falls onto Colorado interstate, shutting down all lanes

A massive overhead sign blew onto I-25 on Monday morning, closing down all lanes of travel just north of downtown Denver, according to a social media announcement from Adams County Fire Rescue.

The call about the incident was received at about 4:36 a.m., with the sign down on the interstate just north of 53rd Avenue. Crews arrived at the scene and cut the sign pole to make it possible for vehicles to travel through the stretch of road. The sign was then pushed off of the road with a bulldozer.

According to Adams County Fire Rescue, one semi truck was damaged as it tried to miss the fallen sign. There have been no reported injuries as a result of the incident.

The CoTrip travel map shows that the road has reopened.
