Project Information
The I-25 North Express Lanes: Johnstown to Fort Collins Project will increase capacity by adding an Express Lane in both directions, replacing aging bridges at four locations and widening two additional bridges. The project will also improve multimodal access to regional transit to promote mode shift, improve bus service performance by adding new bus slip ramps from I-25 to the new Park-n-Ride at Kendall Parkway, create new pedestrian and bicycle access under I-25 at Kendall Parkway and construct new bridges over the Cache la Poudre River, allowing for the future completion of the regional trail. The project is expected to be completed in 2021.
