The Colorado Department of Transportation confirmed plans to improve a section of northbound Interstate 225 in Aurora between Alameda and 6th avenues.
Both the northbound and southbound lanes are closed as a result, so authorities are asking drivers to avoid the area and use Hwy 6 and Hwy 3 as alternative routes since heavy delays are expected.
Authorities say a driver was likely speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road, resulting in a 3-vehicle crash, and the impact from the initial crash caused their car and another to catch fire.
At least one person was said to have died at the scene and traffic was diverted in the area due to downed power lines.
It is not the workers who are dying, but the drivers or their passengers.
