What happened

Traffic shifts and detours expected as construction continues in Pueblo PUEBLO, Colo.

Why it matters

(KRDO) -- There's so much road and bridge construction in the Steel City this year, it seems a good time for KRDO 13's The Road Warrior to check on the status of four projects in particular.

Common ground

City crews completed one project earlier this spring, ending a five-month closure of the Mel Harmon Bridge connecting Highway 47 to an Interstate 25 frontage road with a handful of businesses.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
