Project Description
First steps
Why we needed an Environmental Assessment
What we investigated
In
accordance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),
the Colorado Department
of Transportation (CDOT), through its consultant team of Wilson
& Company and PBS&J, initiated the C-470 Corridor
Project.The project consisted of an Environmental Assessment
(EA) along the southern reach of the Corridor and an Express
Lanes Feasibility Study (ELFS) from South I-25 to West I-70.
The completed EA identifies the future needs, then examines
improvements that meet those needs, including the number of
travel lanes, interchange modifications and other major capacity
improvements, as well as alternative modes of transportation.
The EA has taken approximately three years to complete. See
Schedule
The Express Lanes Feasibility
Study (ELFS) examined the feasibility of tolled express lanes
to address congestion along the corridor from South I-25 to
West I-70. The study results were incorporated into the EA
as one of the examined alternatives.
The Corridor is bordered
by three counties (Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson) and
seven cities (Centennial, Greenwood Village, Golden, Lakewood,
Littleton, Lone Tree and Morrison.)
Public input is a critical
component of the project. Please contact
us with your issues or concerns.
