US 50 West Wills Blvd to McCulloch Blvd Environmental Assessment

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is working with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on the US 50 West Wills Blvd to McCulloch Blvd Environmental Assessment (EA). This will provide additional safety and capacity improvements to US 50 in Pueblo and Pueblo West Metropolitan District (PWMD).

Improvements include:

  • widening 3.4 miles of westbound US 50 between Wills Blvd and Purcell Blvd, from two lanes to three lanes;
  • widening 2.4 miles of westbound and eastbound US 50 between Purcell Blvd and McCulloch Blvd, from two lanes to three lanes in each direction; and
  • establishing grade-separated interchanges at Purcell Blvd and Pueblo Boulevard.

These proposed improvements are elements of the Pueblo Area Council of Governments long range plan that CDOT recommended for US 50 from Swallows Rd to Baltimore Ave, and identified in the US 50 West Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study, 2012. Get information on the US 50 West PEL.
