Project Overview
Introduction
Region 3 of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and Mesa County have identified a need to improve future traffic operations on US 6 between the I-70 Business Loop and the railroad viaduct east of 33 Road by developing an access management plan (AMP).
The purpose of the AMP is to determine what intersections and driveways (access points) will be allowed within the study area, where they will be located, and what kinds of traffic movements will be allowed at each one. The AMP will include data collection and analysis, as well as public involvement and outreach to ensure the AMP reflects the needs of commuters, residents, businesses, and pedestrians.
Once the AMP is complete it will be presented to area agencies. If they find the plan satisfactory they will sign an Intergovernmental Agreement and adopt the plan.
The US 6 - Clifton AMP represents a long-range plan. Currently there are no planned state or federal projects or identified funding for improvements to US 6 that would change access. Implementation of the US 6 - Clifton AMP will occur over time based on traffic and safety needs, available funding, and redevelopment.
