Safety and mobility for vehicles and pedestrians will be improved on I-70 B, between 24 Road (at the Mesa Mall) and 24 ¾ Road. The project is widening the highway with two additional driving lanes, installing a new storm sewer system, reconstructing the roadway in concrete, and upgrading traffic signals, lighting, curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
