The Project

The existing highway section east of Golden that is the focus of this project has approximately 4.85km of single lane east and west bound traffic. This highway section has sharp twists and turns with steep mountainous features on one side and a steep drop off to the river below on the other. This highway section becomes particularly congested and susceptible to accidents and large delays in all seasons of the year, posing significant risk for commuters and commercial transportation.

Other important project considerations are:

• The new alignment will consist of approximately 4.85 km of new double lane highway;

• The new alignment will have 5 new bridges with stabilized earth walls;
