The US40 & Downhill Drive Intersection is a high priority for improvement. Completed by Baseline Engineering, the planned intersection improvements include aligning Downhill Drive and Riverside Drive, installation of signals, planning for future 4-lanes on US40, and improving pedestrian, bicycle, and transit service to the intersection.

The city partnered with CDOT and will provide design and property acquisition, while CDOT will manage and fund most of the construction. The city is in the process of final CDOT approvals and completion of land acquisition.

The project is anticipated to go to bid in November 2023 with construction occurring during the summers of 2024 and 2025. Work will be completed in two phases with the Riverside portion of the project occurring in 2004 and the Downhill Drive portion in 2025.
