Construction continues on I-25 through the City of Trinidad: Interstate 25 is the major roadway facility through the City of Trinidad providing access south to Albuquerque, NM and north to Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver, CO. Construction began in April with demolition and reconstruction of the bridges on I-25 over Main Street and the Purgatoire River.
