CO 1 Realignment in Wellington, Larimer County

About the Project

This project will design and construct safety improvements along CO 1 near CR 9 and CR 62E, including potentially realigning the highway and making intersection improvements.  The purpose will be to enhance sight distance and address skews of highway and local county roads.  This will involve close coordination with partners Larimer County and Wellington to determine ownership and agreements necessary for CDOT to proceed.  As of June 6, 2022, the project has been created and currently in the Preliminary Design phase which includes designing preliminary concepts, defining key features, determining the project footprint, and finalizing funding sources.  Click here for an overview of CDOT's pre-construction process.
