Project Overview
In September 2009, the Colorado
Department of Transportation and the City and County of Broomfield
began construction of two phases of a three-phase project that will
connect State Highway 128 and 120th Avenue. The first two phases
constructed a new portion of State Highway 128 over US 36, which
connects to Old Wadsworth Boulevard where access to 120th Avenue is
available. The $23 million project was completed on September 30,
2010.
How to Use the 120th Avenue Connection
Even though the final phase constructs the direct connection for
State Highway 128 to 120th Avenue, the recently constructed portin of
SH 128 provides motorists with another route to connect to 120th Avenue
from Wadsworth Parkway. Click here to view a

Next Steps
The final phase will extend State Highway 128 to connect directly to
120th Avenue and it will construct a grade separation at the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Currently, design and right of way
acquisition are underway for the final phase of the project.
However, it is unknown when the final phase of construction will begin
as CDOT is still seeking funding for the $40 million project.
