Phase 3
5th Street interchange will include two bridges over the Union Pacific Railroad, the Riverside Parkway bridge over 5th Street, and widening of the existing 5th Street bridges over the Colorado River.
The $110 million dollar, seven mile project is being financed in part by the $80 million dollar 2003 bond issue passed by the voters and will provide motorists an alternative to the Highway 6 and 50 corridor, and is part of a "loop" that will eventually connect with Interstate 70 at a proposed interchange at 29 Road.
SEMA Construction, the low bidder on both Phase 1 and 2, was awarded an extension of their contract to complete Phase 3 of the project. Completion is anticipated as early as summer of 2008. |
