PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION
1.01 Planned Improvements. The general planned improvement is:
Between Rimrock Avenue and Grand Avenue
Increase capacity of I-70B by creating 3 through travel lanes in each direction. Improve the safety and
mobility of this stretch of I-70B by closing the median between the major intersections and providing a
dedicated left turn/ U-turn signal phase at each major intersection.
Evaluate and determine the best option to improve safety, access and mobility to and from the businesses
along I-70B. The possible options include acceleration/deceleration lanes outside of the three through lanes
in each direction of travel; improved frontage road system.
Between Grand Avenue and 2nd Street
Increase capacity of I-70B where needed by creating 3 through travel lanes in each direction or improving
intersections. Improve the safety and mobility of this stretch of I-70B by access control, revised lane
configurations, signalization, or other means.
Evaluate and determine the best option to improve safety, access and mobility to and from the businesses
along I-70B.
