Completed Studies

US 50 Access Control Plan

US 50 is an important resource for the communities of Colorado's Western Slope. Traffic volumes on US 50 are projected to significantly increase in the future. One of the best ways to keep the highway safe and efficient is to manage the location and design of intersections and driveways (access points). This ACP evaluated the portion of the US 50 corridor located just west of Grand Mesa Avenue to SH 141A in Whitewater. Keywords: Studies, US Highways, Access Control Plan

US 34, US 287 to Larimer County Rd. 3 EA and FONSI

April 2007 - Environmental Assessment (EA) - The purpose of the proposed project is to provide an improved transportation facility between US 287 and LCR 3 that would meet the following needs: Improve current and future traffic mobility, Improve transportation safety, and Accommodate 2030 travel demand. July 2007 - Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) - This project encompasses approximately 6 miles of US 34 (also known as Eisenhower Boulevard) in Loveland, Colorado. The project corridor extends between a western terminus at US 287 (North Lincoln Avenue and North Cleveland Avenue one-way pair) and an eastern terminus of Larimer County Road 3 (LCR 3), 1.5 miles east of the I-25 interchange.

US 287 Loveland to Fort Collins Environmental Overview Study (EOS)

January 2007 - The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) developed and initiated the Environmental Overview Study (EOS) process. The EOS process is structured to provide a basis for long-term roadway improvements and to provide support for local planning decisions while considering environmental resources decisions. While no funds are currently programmed for construction, the intended outcome of the process is the preservation of a corridor for future transportation improvements. Through this process, future improvements to the Colorado highway system can be integrated with other local and regional transportation plans resulting in a proactive, environmentally sensitive transportation vision within the North Front Range.

US 287 from CO 1 to the LaPorte Bypass EA and FONSI

September 2004 - Environmental Assessment (EA) - The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has been conducting studies to investigate alternatives that would improve mobility (travel conditions) and safety on the stretch of approximately 2 miles of US 287 between SH 1 and the LaPorte Bypass intersection east of the town of LaPorte, mileposts (MP) 348.50 and 350.35. June 2006 - Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) - This document contains a FONSI and selects Preferred Alternative A4 with Reduced Footprint based on the analyses and results in the attached EA.

US 287 at Lamar Environmental Assessment and FONSI

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to identify and assess a new alignment for U.S. Highway (U.S.) 287 and U.S. 50 through the City of Lamar, Colorado in Prowers County.

CO 392 Access Control Plan

October 2006 - Recent and continued growth in along Interstate (I) 25, State Highway (SH) 392, and within the local communities that make up the North Front Range, has resulted in an increase in traffic on the SH 392 corridor. Traffic volumes in the area are expected to at least double in the next 20 years. Without changes to the corridor, this increase in traffic volumes will result in increased delay, higher levels of congestion, and an increase in the severity and number of accidents. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has identified the need for an Access Control Plan (ACP) on this corridor to minimize the occurrence of these conditions.

US 85 PEL

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is conducting a study referred to as the US 85 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL). The objective of the US 85 PEL Study is to develop a strategic vision for US 85 between I-76 and the Town of Nunn. Keywords: Studies, US Highways, PEL
