CO 2 Curb Ramp Improvements Project

About the Project

On April 12, 2021, the Colorado Department of Transportation and contractor Jalisco International Inc. will update curb ramps to Americans with Disabilities (ADA) compliance along approximately 10 miles of Colorado Boulevard between East Girard Avenue and 52nd Avenue in Denver. Work is scheduled to be completed in September 2021.

Project Benefits

Bringing curb ramps to ADA compliance will improve the efficiency and ease of use for pedestrians traveling along Colorado Boulevard. "ADA compliant curb ramps enable all pedestrians to safely navigate across intersections. With Colorado Boulevard frequently being a high-traffic road, this project will serve to increase the safety for both motorists and pedestrians,” says Shoshana Lew, executive director for CDOT.
