Project Description

The Central 70 project involved the reconstruction of a highway corridor in Denver, Colorado, which provides access to 1,200 businesses, as well as the regional connection to Denver International Airport, and carries approximately 200,000 vehicles per day. The project scope included constructing a 10-mile stretch of I-70 East, with the addition of a new tolled express lane in each direction, removing the aging 54-year old viaduct, lowering the interstate between Brighton and Colorado Boulevards and placing a 4-acre park over a portion of the lowered interstate. Construction was completed in July 2023.

The project received the Community Impact of the Year Award from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) in 2019 and the Gold Award in the Best Road/Bridge/Tunnel Project category at the P3 Awards in 2018.
