Planning/Design
Updated February 23, 2024 – Project Schedule has changed – please see the “Schedule Section” below for updates.
Final Design Plans are ongoing for the extensive improvements at the intersection of Broadway and Highlands Ranch Parkway, to improve the overall safety of the intersection through the addition of a second southbound left-turn lane on Broadway accessing eastbound Highlands Ranch Parkway, and widening Highlands Ranch Parkway through the Broadway intersection to include three (3) eastbound through lanes. In addition, the existing traffic signal will be redesigned to accommodate the wider intersection.
The design of the intersection, the utility relocations, and the right-of-way (ROW) acquisitions needed to construct the project are all anticipated to occur throughout 2024 and 2025. Construction of the Broadway and Highlands Ranch Parkway improvements are anticipated to begin in 2026, utilizing the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Federal grant funding administered by CDOT in the amount of $1.125 million. Depending on funding availability, the Highlands Ranch Parkway widening portion of the project may be removed from the initial construction package and built at a later date.
An interim solution has already been implemented to help improve the Broadway/Highlands Ranch Parkway capacity, reduce delay and improve overall safety for the motoring public, as follows:
