Project History

History Overview

In the past 10 years, the North I-25 corridor has transformed from a rural to urban environment due to explosive population growth and new development. It is critical to address the existing and impending traffic congestion issues, and to increase safety.

Funding

CDOT allocated $55 million in funding through the Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships (RAMP) program to extend further north the tolled Express Lanes on I-25 between US 36 and 120th Avenue. In addition to RAMP funding, the project includes the following funding sources:

• $6.5 million of HSIP funds
• $1 million of Bridge funds
• $12 million from Surface Treatment
• $1.1 million from Water Quality Fund
• $22 million state commercial loan

In total, the project's $97.5 million in funding will extend the Express Lanes to Northwest Parkway/E-470.
