Project Location
The purpose and need for the I-25 Exit 108 Interchange Reconstruction project is to replace a structurally deficient and functionally obsolete box culvert under I-25 with a modern interchange.
A new Rest Area will be built just west of the interchange serving both directions of I-25 with parking for busses, commercial motor vehicles (50) and cars (95). The Rest Area has the capacity to add a transit hub, park and ride spaces, and increased freight parking.
The project is designed to improve safety, increase operational efficiency, and allow for a safer travel experience. This includes local residents, long-distance travelers, businesses and freight operators.
CDOT is designing a new rest area west of Interstate 25 at Exit 108 (Purcell Boulevard). The new rest area facility will accommodate both north- and southbound motorists on I-25. The proposed design will provide 12 fixtures for men, 12 for women and two family restrooms. The grounds will have nine picnic shelters and one large picnic area; a fenced pet relief area, separated truck, car and bus parking with 50 truck spaces and 95 car spaces; sidewalks and crosswalks to safely access the building. The location provides access to municipal water and sewer facilities and has the capacity to add a transit hub, park and ride spaces and increased freight parking.
