SH 82/Grand Avenue Bridge Environmental Assessment Comment Period has been Extended

November 26, 2014 - Northwestern Colorado/CDOT Region 3 - GARFIELD COUNTY/GLENWOOD SPRINGS – The SH 82/Grand Avenue Bridge Environmental Assessment (EA) was made available for a 30-day comment period beginning October 31, 2014.

In response to several requests, the comment period for the EA has been extended by 30 days to provide additional time for review and comment on the document. As a result of the extension, written comments on the EA may be submitted through Wednesday, December 31, 2014.

Regarding the extension, CDOT officials noted the schedule is tight to allow the project to begin construction in fall 2015 as planned.  “However, providing more time to review the EA is consistent with our goal of ensuring that every voice is heard as part of the EA process.”
