May 2, 2012 - TRAFFIC ADVISORY - Denver Metro Colorado/CDOT Region 6 - DENVER – Tonight, May 2nd and tomorrow night, May 3rd, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will have various single lane closures on eastbound and westbound US 36 between Federal Boulevard and Wadsworth Boulevard to accommodate survey work for the upcoming construction on US 36.

The following lane closures will be in place, weather permitting:

May 2, 2012

• Westbound US 36 from just east of Church Ranch Boulevard to Wadsworth Boulevard:  The right lane of westbound US 36 will be closed from 7 p.m. tonight until 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

• Eastbound US 36 from Wadsworth Boulevard east one mile: The right lane of eastbound US 36 will be closed from 7 p.m. tonight until 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

• Westbound US 36 between Federal Boulevard and 92nd Avenue:  The right lane of westbound US 36 will be closed from 7 p.m. on Thursday until 5:30 a.m. on Friday.

Delays are possible each night and alternate routes are strongly advised. CDOT would like to remind motorists to obey all construction signs and flaggers and to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”

The $312 million multi-modal project will build an express lane in each direction on US 36 from Federal Boulevard to 88th Street in Louisville/Superior. The lanes will accommodate High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV), Bus Rapid Transit and tolled Single Occupancy Vehicles. In addition, the project will replace several bridges, build a commuter bikeway, add Bus Rapid Transit improvements, and install Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for tolling, transit, and traveler information, and incident management.

Ames/Granite Joint Venture team is the design-build contractor for the project, which is scheduled to begin in the summer 2012 and open to the public in January 2015.
