Buchtel & evans improvements - denver

On July 21, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) obligated $4.89 million to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant funds bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements and safety enhancements along Buchtel and Evans avenues between University Avenue and Colorado Avenue in Denver, Colorado. The project delivers multimodal transportation infrastructure designed to enhance nonmotorized access and traffic safety in an urban corridor.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, FHWA provides federal financial assistance to states for highway construction, preservation, and improvement activities, including eligible bicycle and pedestrian projects. CDOT, as the state transportation authority, administers this award to plan, construct, and deliver the specified infrastructure improvements. The project aligns with the program's emphasis on multimodal connectivity and safety enhancement activities, which are eligible for federal funding even on roadways not classified as major federal-aid highways.
