US 40 ADA Ramp Project on Colfax

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation, along with its contractor, Chato’s Concrete, LLC, will begin the US 40 (Colfax) ADA Ramp Upgrade project that will upgrade 103 curb ramps along a three-mile stretch of Colfax Avenue, between Iris and Ames Street. The new ramps will be wider, sloped for easier access.

In addition, the project will modify the location of 24 existing pedestrian push buttons at five intersections and update the crosswalk striping at two intersections to improve safety and meet the current Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
Chato’s Concrete of Denver, CO was awarded this $1.8 million project by CDOT.
