Description

The I-70 Floyd Hill Project is a $905 million construction project by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) aimed at reducing ski traffic congestion and improving safety on the Floyd Hill corridor between Evergreen and Idaho Springs. The project includes creating a third westbound express lane, constructing a 115-foot bridge to straighten road curves, transforming the current I-70 road to a frontage road for detours and emergency access, rebuilding bridges, and improving the Clear Creek Greenway trail and wildlife crossings. The project is divided into three phases covering eight miles and faces challenges such as rock blasting and narrow canyons.
