I-70 Silverthorne/Dillon Interchange Study

— filed under:

I-70 Silverthorne/Dillon Interchange Project Studies Alternatives for Exit 205 in Summit County

Web Map 2.jpgThe Silverthorne Interchange Feasibility Study, which looked at alternatives to improve the interchange at Interstate 70, U.S. 6 and State Highway 9, currently is on hold.

The Colorado Department of Transportation is delaying the study but ultimately, not the project, since funding had not been identified for the federally-required environmental clearances, final design or construction of the recommendations proposed by the study.

The intent is to revisit the feasibility study in late 2012 or early 2013.  The data gathered from the study thus far will be well documented so the process can resume, and ultimately move ahead as funding is identified.

In the meantime, CDOT is committed to addressing other problem areas at the interchange, including drainage issues at the bridge over the Blue River and problems with the steep grade on the ramp from U.S. 6/State Highway 9 to westbound I-70, which makes merging onto the highway difficult.  CDOT is committed to addressing these specific problem areas while the feasibility study is temporarily shelved.

Project Mission

“Our mission is to deliver a multi-modal transportation project that is a model for the I-70 Mountain Corridor. We will respect community and environmental values while improving safety, access, and mobility by engaging in an inclusive and transparent process that is widely supported and demonstrates best practices in all respects.”
