Gypsum lays out next steps for long‑planned airport interchange, seeks qualifications‑based consultant
Council received a detailed update on the airport interchange: a prior 2004 environmental assessment and a near‑complete design remain on file, CDOT holds right‑of‑way, and staff proposed a feasibility study and qualifications‑based consultant selection (85% qualifications / 15% price) to advance a NEPA refresh and funding eligibility.
The full story
Staff presented a comprehensive history and next steps for the long‑discussed airport interchange project. The project was advanced to near‑complete design in the 2000s (an EA completed in 2004 with a FONSI in 2005), CDOT purchased right‑of‑way for a preferred alignment, and the prior design included relocating parts of eastbound I‑70, constructing five new bridges and a main bridge roughly 2,000 feet long with piers up to about 90 feet tall.
