CDOT's own milestones page says the Berthoud to Fort Collins stretch, which includes Segment 6, was completed as 2023 closed: the express lanes were to open as soon as Dec 15, 2023, with work continuing through 2024 and a grand opening in spring 2024. This row said the segment was still under construction until 24 September 2026.

The money is published; the names are held. Each row below carries the contract value, what has been paid to date so far as it is published, and our confidence grade — the same figures as always, from the same official records. What is withheld is the vendor's name, the record link that names it, and the campaign-finance search that sat beside it. That is a deliberate decision taken pending legal review, not a figure we could not find: a blank cell would have said the opposite. What WITHHELD means
