SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice is hereby given that FHWA and other agencies have taken final agency action within in the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by approving the Central 70 highway project in the State of Colorado in the Record of Decision issued January 19, 2017. Project Overview: I-70 between I-25 and Chambers Road is one of Colorado's economic backbones. The corridor is home to 1,200 businesses, connecting the region to Denver International Airport and carrying upwards of 200,000 vehicles per day.

The purpose of the project is to implement a transportation solution that improves safety, access, and mobility and addresses congestion on I-70 in the project area. The Central 70 project proposes to reconstruct and improve a 10-mile stretch of I-70, which will include adding one new express lane in each direction, removing the interstate from an aging viaduct and placing it below grade, and constructing a four-acre cover over a portion of the lowered section. The actions by the Federal agencies on the project, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the I-70 East from I-25 to Tower Road Final Environmental Impact Statement
