CDOT to host open house for improvements to north I-25

September 10, 2014 - Northeastern Colorado/CDOT Region 4 - A public open house will be held to provide information about planned additional lanes on I-25 and other transportation issues including interim improvements planned for early construction, commuter rail updates, and planned 2015 express bus service.

The open house will be from 5-7:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 at the Southwest Weld County Services Complex, 4209 Weld County Rd 24 ½ in Longmont. A presentation on the I-25 project is scheduled for 5:45 p.m.

The planned I-25 improvements include adding one additional lane in each direction of I-25 from 120^th Avenue to State Highway (SH) 7. The additional lane will be a tolled express lane, open to buses, carpools and vanpools for free and also to single and double occupant vehicles, if they pay a toll. It will connect to the improvements under construction from 120^th Avenue south to the existing tolled express lanes at US 36, providing a continuous tolled express lane from SH 7 to Denver.

The open house will provide information on the anticipated schedule and provide opportunity for public questions and comment.
