The Colorado Department of Transportation has announced a process that will accelerate the widening of I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock, Colorado.
“I wish to commend the many state and local leaders who have been diligently working on the important issue of widening I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock. Because of your efforts, the Colorado Department of Transportation has announced a course of action that should complete the project in the year 2021. By allocating 20 million dollars, CDOT is speeding up the planning and environmental study processes in order to make the project ready for construction in the summer of 2019. I have stressed the importance of this project to the USDOT leadership and will do everything I can in Congress to ensure that the funding needed to meet this timeline is available to the state of Colorado.”
