Project title: 2024 US24, Baylor and DePaul Intersection Improvement

Project purpose or justification:

"Recent studies have shown a growing amount of traffic on US24, especially along Baylor Drive where there is a largely residential area," said Julie Constan, CDOT Regional Transportation Director. "Buena Vista is an active community. Many pedestrians and bicycles are crossing the highway in this location. It was determined that a new signalized intersection for all modes of travel and users interacting on this stretch of highway."

Project objective:

The Colorado Department of Transportation in cooperation with prime contractor, Bixby Electric, began a 3-way signal installation project today, Monday, August 12 at the intersection of US Highway 24 and Baylor Drive and DePaul Avenue in Buena Vista.

Project scope:

Three-way signal at US24, DePaul Avenue and Baylor Drive

Micro-surfacing (laying new asphalt over the existing pavement) at the approaches of the intersection in each direction

New striping and markings including turn lanes and multi-modal features for pedestrians and cyclists

Replacement of old sidewalks with new sidewalks, ramps and other features compliant with ADA (American with Disabilities Act) on the northwest and northeast corners of US24 and Baylor Drive

Enhanced pedestrian safety at crosswalks

Reflective backplates to increase visibility of the traffic signal heads, especially for night drivers during low-visibility situations like severe weather.

Project deliverable:

  • Mile Point(s): US 24, MP 211.05 to 211.33

Project stakeholders:

  • Contractor: Bixby Electric

Project timeline: August to November

The project is expected to be completed in late October.

Typical working hours will be from 7a.m. to 7p.m., Monday through Friday

Motorists can expect a southbound right turn lane closure from US24 onto DePaul Avenue and occasional single lane closures on US24

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and available resources
