CO 121 Signal Improvements in Jefferson County

About the Project:

Work includes replacing the antiquated existing traffic signals and with new traffic signal equipment.  This includes poles, mast arms, vehicle detectors, closed circuit television cameras, advanced flashing beacons, signing and minor striping at each intersection. Additional work includes removing and installing curb that is accessible for people with disabilities - Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps.


Project Benefits

  • Traffic signals are a vital part of controlling traffic in a safe and efficient manner by providing regulated movement. Vehicle detection will reduce unnecessary delays and stops at the intersection while improving travel times and increasing the amount of traffic that an intersection can handle.
  • Other benefits of the project include the installation of ADA compliant curb ramps. The new ramps will be constructed in compliance with the Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) requirements and will provide function accessibility to all travelers using our state and US highways.

Work Schedule:

  • Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Traffic Impacts:
