US 6 Palisade Intersection Improvements | Design Phase

About the Project

The US 6 Palisade Intersection design is complete. Based on feedback from the community and the Town of Palisade, funding considerations and additional data points conducted by the project team, CDOT is moving towards construction of one roundabout at the US Highway 6 and Elberta Avenue Intersection to improve operations, safety and pedestrian/bicycle mobility in the Town of Palisade.

Several challenges along the corridor were identified and taken into consideration as part of the recommended options that were introduced, they are:

• Continuity with the Town of Palisade’s sidewalk improvement project
• Drivers going the wrong way on 37 1/10 Road in order to access the south frontage road
• The offset intersection configuration at Elberta Avenue and Iowa Avenue
• Safety and operational concerns with the existing configuration of US 6 and the frontage road intersections at 37 1/10 Road, Elberta Avenue, and Iowa Avenue due to their close proximity to each other
• Lack of multimodal connections

Community Outreach

Future community outreach events will be planned for winter 2023 to 2024, and fall 2024 to present the preliminary design.
