Interstate 25 near Pueblo is fully reopened after the recent fatal train derailment, the Colorado Department of Transportation announced in an email Thursday.

CDOT announced that I-25 reopened around 4:30 p.m. Traffic camera images displayed on cotrip.org show traffic flowing northbound and southbound on the previously closed section of roadway.

The reopening follows three days of debris clearing following the Sunday train derailment that spilled coal and mangled rail cars onto Interstate 25 north of Pueblo, causing a bridge collapse and killing truck driver Lafollette Henderson, 60, of Compton, Calif.

The highway had been closed across all lanes of traffic between mile markers 110 and 101 while clean-up crews and investigators worked on the scene. Detours around the road closure had created delays of up to two hours for some drivers.

On Wednesday, Gov. Jared Polis toured the site and announced that I-25 southbound lanes would reopen to traffic that afternoon. CDOT confirmed the reopening around 2:15 p.m.

Polis said an additional closure is expected in roughly two weeks to finalize bridge repairs and restoration.

The NTSB said that upon initial inspection a damaged piece of rail just before the bridge led to the derailment, which in turn led to the damage to the bridge.

Although questions circulated regarding previous inspections and the health of the bridge prior to its collapse, Polis repeatedly stressed that officials carried “no reason to believe the bridge played any role in the incident,” at hand, adding an official investigation report would be available in the upcoming weeks.
