Big news for cyclists and commuters in Colorado: the CO 119 Safety, Mobility and Bikeway Project is pushing forward, with recent snaps from the Colorado Department of Transportation showing progress on several underpasses along the route. For those navigating between Boulder and Longmont, the developments hint at greater connectivity on the horizon.
At Niwot Road, construction has paved the way for the new bikeway underpass. The median section saw a closure this spring, but this inconvenience promises long-term pay-offs. According to Boulder County, a revamped bus station is on the docket for the area, complete with increased parking, shelter for bikes, and bus stops geared for those heading to Longmont and Boulder.
Project updates also highlight activities at CO 52 and the connection to Reservoir Trail/IBM Connector Trail, with similar bikeway underpasses in the works. This trio of infrastructure improvements is part of a broader mission to bolster safety and mobility for all travelers. Patience is a virtue when it comes to construction, but the promises of smoother travels and better connections seem to be just down the road.
