Adams County highlights multimillion-dollar interchange grant, transit projects and I‑270 EIS milestone
Summary
Transportation staff announced a BUILD grant award for the US 85 interchange, expected PECOS Connect transit funding, and an imminent final EIS signing for I‑270; staff described estimated project scales and next steps on local match and design sequencing.
Transportation staff updated the board on several major regional projects and funding steps. Staff announced that the US 85 and the 104th/120th interchange project received BUILD grant funding and that the total interchange construction cost is expected to be large—staff estimated an order-of-magnitude range in the low hundreds of millions. "This is a giant construction project," a transportation staff member said, and staff said they will coordinate regional partners to determine the local match and project phasing.
Staff also said the county expects an award for a three-year PECOS Connect multi-transit project and is budgeting for a 2027 implementation request. Separately, staff reported that the I‑270 final Environmental Impact Statement is about to be signed and that CDOT plans a signing ceremony at its headquarters on Aug. 20 at 1 p.m.; staff invited board participation for the event and noted that the EIS completion precedes forthcoming design and construction milestones.
