Estado del Proyecto El 24 de agosto, el equipo del Proyecto de la Central 70 anunció la selección de Kiewit Meridiam Partners (KMP) como el equipo favorecido para diseñar, construir y financiar la reconstrucción de la I-70 que atraviesa la parte central de Denver, así como para operar y mantener la autopista por un periodo de 30 años. Se espera que la KMP esté completamente abordo una vez que se haga el cierre de la parte financiera en el 2018. Las labores de construcción empezarán a fines del 2018 y se espera que tome menos de cinco años para finalizar. Aquí tenemos algunos detalles sobre la KMP y su propuesta.
• Elevación del perfil de la autopista, eliminando así cualquier contacto con las aguas subterráneas• Tres carriles en cada dirección permanecerán abiertos durante la construcción• Sólo habrán dos cambios principales en el tránsito troncal• Optimización de rampas y cierres por etapas para reducir impactos a los viajeros• Finalización de la construcción – toda una temporada completa de construcción antes de lo que el CDOT había
previsto.
Northeast Transportation Connections (NETC) Como parte del esfuerzo del CDOT para asegurar y mejorar el acceso para la comunidad y los viajeros que van de su domicilio al trabajo durante la construcción, la NETC ha empezado en la actualidad a ofrecer un programa de trasporte gratuito para aquellos que viven en la zona con código postal 80216. Los servicios incluyen transporte gratuito al supermercado, servicio de transporte al zoológico durante los días gratuitos, al museo, etc., y pases mensuales gratuitos del RTD para aquellos que califiquen.
