The federal government will chip in $100 million toward CDOT’s next big project: a drastic rebuilding of Interstate 70 at Floyd Hill that, in the latest designs, would smooth out its sharpest curve by crossing westbound traffic over the eastbound side.
and expected toll revenue from an extension of the westbound mountain express lane, which would address the current bottleneck where that side of I-70 narrows from three lanes to two.
“Everyone who travels the I-70 mountain corridor knows Floyd Hill as the first place where you get stuck in traffic as you leave Denver,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a news release. “Getting this traffic jam fixed has beenfor my administration for years, and it is a centerpiece of our Ten Year Plan for transportation.”
A new I-70 Floyd Hill project rendering, looking southwest, shows a widened and rebuilt Interstate 70 curving at the bottom of Floyd Hill into Clear Creek Canyon . The $700 million project would elevate the westbound lanes, which would cross over the eastbound side, making for a gentler curve. They would cross back to the right side farther west.
Major construction could begin early next year. CDOT is working with its construction manager, Kraemer North America, and lead designer Atkins, to dial in the final design
