CDOT is asking drivers to “Mind the Gap” as part of a new safety campaign.
The gap is an 18-mile stretch of I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock known for a higher than average number of crashes.
Over 5,500 accidents are reported from 2011 to 2015.
The top causes of crashes along the corridor are rear-end and sideswipe collisions on top of the growing congestion.
CDOT reminds drivers leave plenty of room for the car in front of you and to watch your blind spots.
