The purpose of the Record of Decision (ROD) is to document the FHWA’s decision on the I-25 Valley Highway Project. Due to current funding limitations and the requirements for fiscal-constraint, only Phases 1 and 2 as identified in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), are being selected for implementation in this ROD. Subsequent project phases will be selected and implemented as additional funding become available, enabling CDOT and FHWA to work toward implementation of the entire Preferred Alternative. For each subsequent phase, a ROD will be issued detailing the phase to be implemented. CDOT and FHWA will review the information provided in the Final EIS and this ROD in preparing each subsequent ROD.
If you have a question or concern related to the I-25 Valley Highway Project, please contact the CDOT Senior Project Manager, Tony Gross, at 303.972.9112 or via email at tony.gross@dot.state.co.us.
The Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Valley Highway Project details the Preferred Alternative and project phasing for the reconfiguration and redesign of I-25 between Logan and US 6 (6th Avenue) and elements of US 6 from I-25 to Federal Boulevard.
Final EIS Abstract
FHWA and CDOT have examined a broad range of alternatives and identified a Preferred Alternative for improvements to portions of I-25 (the Valley Highway), US 6, and Santa Fe/Kalamath in south central Denver. The improvements would correct geometric deficiencies, increase safety, and replace deteriorating structures. Pedestrian/bicycle mobility across the I-25 corridor and access to transit facilities would also be improved. The Final EIS describes the Preferred Alternative, as well as the other alternatives that were examined and a No Action Alternative, which provides a baseline for comparison. The environmental consequences of the alternatives are described for a broad range of environmental categories including: socio-economics and community, right-of-way and displacements, parks and recreation, aesthetics and urban design, air quality, noise and vibration, historic preservation, paleontology, water resources, floodplains, wetlands, vegetation and wildlife, hazardous waste, soils and geology, energy, and construction impacts. Mitigation measures are identified to address impacts to these resources.
