CDOT Under Way With Design of North I-25 Reconstruction
The Colorado Dept. of Transportation has started the design for various improvements to the North I-25 corridor. The improvements will be comprised of smaller projects that make up Phase 1 of the record of decision for the North I-25 Environmental Impact Statement signed on December 29 by the Federal Highway Administration. The study analyzed potential transportation improvements along the I-25 corridor between Fort Collins/Wellington and downtown Denver, as well as along U.S. 85 and U.S. 287.
“The design phase for the North I-25 Reconstruction project is the next step in planning for an effective multi-modal transportation system that is greatly needed for the economic health of northern Colorado,” said CDOT’s Regional Transportation Director Johnny Olson. “Funding still needs to be identified in order to implement the design projects, but we are working to find it in coordination with the FHWA as well as local communities, agencies and industries.”
