CDOT Building Its First Continuous Flow Intersection Near Durango
The Colorado Dept. of Transportation begins work in mid-March on its first continuous flow intersection (CFI) project at the U.S. 160/550 west intersection near Durango.
CFIs reduce congestion and increase safety at high-traffic intersections, based on other CFIs constructed nationwide. The first CFI in Colorado was built in 2010 by the city of Loveland on Madison Avenue for access onto Eisenhower Blvd./U.S. 34. The one near Durango is the first CFI on a Colorado state highway.
