I-70 floyd hill package 4 cent section

The Federal Highway Administration awarded Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) a Formula Grant of $5.29 million on July 10, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to deliver highway infrastructure improvements on Interstate 70 at Floyd Hill. The project encompasses the addition of a westbound lane from Beaver Brook to Veterans Memorial Tunnels, spanning from the top of Floyd Hill to the Veterans Memorial Tunnels, along with bridge replacement activities in this critical mountain corridor section.

This award supports CDOT's ongoing mission to construct, preserve, and improve Colorado's comprehensive highway infrastructure through federal-aid highway funding mechanisms authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The Floyd Hill Package 4 Center Section project represents a typical application of Highway Planning and Construction formula grants, which are allocated to states on an annual basis and administered through state departments of transportation to address transportation infrastructure priorities identified by state and local authorities.
