Your take on this project
How well does this project use public money?
Your rating and comment help show which projects residents see as a good use of public money, and which as a poor one.
A rating here is not a vote, a scientific poll or a message to your representative.
Your rating is kept with no name, and it is never published on this site.
How we use this
Your rating is stored without your name, address or any identifier. We count it into a total, so the people who govern this place can see how residents read their spending. No rating and no total is published on this site. We may publish summaries of what residents tell us about a place. Those are our own writing, never your rating and never a count, average or distribution of anybody's. Ratings and comments are grouped into themes that show elected leaders how residents rate each project.
Latest public update
CDOT reported the segments substantially complete in late 2023.
Total cost and spending
Total project cost$302M
Total cost & funding are drawn from the official record(s) listed below.
Delivered. Project reported complete, so final spend approximates the total cost. TOPS, the state’s spending ledger, does not carry CDOT’s construction payments. CDOT posts a payment estimate each month for every construction contract. Each one covers a single contract, not a project, and we have not matched this project’s contracts to them.

Where this comes from: award announcements and project records from CDOT, FHWA, agencies and the legislature’s nonpartisan staff — each Record link opens the source. Paid-to-date shows only published figures (green = verified); everything else stays PENDING, because the state does not publish payments project by project. Political giving links open TRACER, the Secretary of State’s official campaign-finance database, where contribution records are searchable by name — contributions are legal and public, and a search link implies no wrongdoing by anyone.
