29 Road and I-70B Interchange
General Information
April 2008
29 Road and I-70B Interchange is a key component in the transformation of the 29 Road corridor into a major link in the transportation network. This project proposes to construct a viaduct to extend 29 Road over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and I-70B. These improvements are part of the 29 Road corridor improvements that will eventually connect Highway 50 with Interstate 70.
The proposed improvement will be approximately 4500 feet in length extending from D Road to a point approximately 800' north of I-70B and will include a connection to provide access between I-70B and 29 Road.
The CDOT interchange approval process has been completed. Final design is scheduled to be completed in early 2008. Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled for 2008. Construction is planned to begin in late 2008 and be completed by mid-2010. The project is being jointly funded by the City of Grand Junction and Mesa County.
Current Status - The City has hired the consulting engineering firm of Jacob Carter & Burgess of Denver Colorado to complete the final design, and the consulting firm of Transportation Resource Services to coordinate the right-of-way and easement aquisition process. Negotiation for land and easement purchases will be handled by the City and County in each of their respective jurisdictions.
