About the Project
This design-build project will extend Picadilly Road between Colfax Avenue and Smith Road via an interchange onto I-70 in Aurora. Improved north-south connectivity will unlock a roadway network and make Picadilly Road a key arterial point for the region. The interchange will improve safety, alleviate congestion, and connect people and commerce to job centers, new neighborhoods and the nation's third busiest airport.
Project Benefits
The region is expected to experience many additional benefits from the project. These include:
Reduction of emissions, freight time and hauling costs.
Minimized out-of-direction travel for area residents and businesses.
Savings of up to $132 million in vehicle-operating and travel time.
Reduced congestion and bottlenecks.
