The gateway to Colorado's Rocky Mountains is about to undergo phase one of a major, multi-year construction project to make much-needed improvements and repairs.
CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — The gateway to Colorado's Rocky Mountains is about to undergo phase one of a major, multi-year construction project to make much-needed improvements and repairs.
The I-70 Floyd Hill Project has been broken into three phases — the east section, central section and west section — which run eight miles between west of Evergreen to eastern Idaho Springs.“From initial scoping to completion of the National Environmental Policy Act process in February 2023, we are now ready for construction," she said Thursday.
Residents may find"minor impacts" to the westbound I-70 off-ramp at Homestead Road, near Floyd Hill Open Space, CDOT said. "Unfortunately, building another lane isn't how you fix it," he said."That causes induced demand, which creates more traffic. It's like buying more beer to quit drinking." "It'll be a nightmare for those years of construction," he said, and adding about the express lane:"So, you know, unless you got an extra buck in your pocket, you know, you're stuck in the other lanes. So, that was kind of a lane just for wealthy people."
Kionka, the director of the I-70 Floyd Hill Project, said the infrastructure around Floyd Hill was built in the 1960s and needs the upgrade, especially with the growing population along Colorado's Front Range and increased I-70 use. Two wildlife crossings are also under construction as part of these"early projects" — one at I-70 and Genesse, and another at US 40 in Empire. The final early project is a Pegasus transit shuttle stop in the Floyd Hill area.The I-70 Floyd Hill Project is starting with the east section, a four-mile stretch that begins at County Road 65 and runs to the bottom of Floyd Hill. One of the most noticeable changes will be a third westbound travel lane starting at the top of Floyd Hill.
