In July, the Colorado Dept. of Transportation started one of its largest stimulus-funded transportation projects with the multimodal rehabilitation of nine miles of the C-470 highway between Interstate 25 and Santa Fe Drive, south of Denver, and an adjacent bike path.
The $22.3-million project, entirely funded with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act dollars, will repair or replace highway concrete base slabs and then pave the entire stretch with asphalt. Crews also will repair concrete slabs along 26 miles, or more than half, of the heavily traveled bike path between I-25 and Interstate 70.
