Project Description

The project will improve a 61-mile corridor of I-25, including adding 52 miles of express toll lanes between Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado.  

The benefits of the $1.6 billion project include improved travel times; construction of new mobility hubs that encourage a modal shift to transit, carpooling, and bicycle/pedestrian travel; capacity for future travel demand; rehabilitation of older critical rail crossings and structures; and connecting the project to a regional trail network of 100 miles that serve as a wildlife corridor.  

The Colorado Transportation Investment Office (CTIO) estimates that the ability to leverage $501 million through the TIFIA program will accelerate construction by nearly a decade and avert more than $250 million in project delay costs.
