Curb Ramp & Pedestrian Improvements in Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver & Jefferson Counties

About the Project

Starting Aug. 5, crews will upgrade 118 curb ramps at multiple locations across the Denver Metro area to meet new Americans with Disabilities (ADA) compliance guidelines. Work will be performed with minimal impact to travelers.

Locations

Work will extend across Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, and Jefferson counties.

Project Background

This project is part of CDOT's four-year statewide $85 million initiative to upgrade curb ramps to meet new ADA compliance guidelines. The replacement or upgrade of curb ramps at key intersections constitutes major infrastructure improvements across the region, and will:

• increase the safety, accessibility, and accommodation of residents, patrons of businesses, and visitors.
• Full access to private driveways and businesses is being maintained during the period of construction.
• The upgraded ramps will be wider, sloped for easier access by the public, and finished with a slip-resistant texture for additional safety in all weather conditions.
• The materials used in their construction are fast drying which will expedite pedestrian access upon completion. 

Travel Impacts

• The project team plans no lane closures before 9 a.m. and after 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
• From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., expect single-lane closures at certain locations.
• Expect shoulder and sidewalk closures at some locations as ramps are replaced.
• Crews will maintain 24-hour access to private driveways and businesses.
• Traffic control personnel will be on-site at all times during construction.
• Lane closure or weather-related notices are posted a week in advance on COTrip.org.
