Connecting Communities

FasTracks is connecting communities one bridge at a time! On the night of Monday, January 25th, crews for the Regional Transportation District (RTD) closed all westbound lanes of U.S. 36 between Church Ranch and S.H. 121 from 10 p.m. through 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 26. The closure allowed crews to place the final segment of a new pedestrian bridge across the westbound span of U.S. 36 near Odeum Colorado (formerly the Broomfield Events Center).

The pedestrian bridge is part of the U.S. 36 Phase I Transit Improvements. The completion of the pedestrian bridge is the first step in moving the existing park-n-Ride from 120th Avenue and Wadsworth to the Arista Grand Parkade at Transit Way, which will occur this spring. The other two segments of the pedestrian bridge were placed in mid-December during an overnight closure of eastbound U.S. 36.

FasTracks is moving full-speed ahead. In the 2009 Connecting Communities video, we asked commuters throughout the region, "How is FasTracks at work for you?"
