Northbound Speer Boulevard will be closed between Lawrence and Market streets on Monday.
Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure crews will close the stretch from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. to stage and place 100-foot-long concrete girders that will become the primary support system for the new Larimer Street bridge.
