This $24 million project began in June 2014 and was scheduled to complete in June 2016. Phases 1.2 and 1.3 were combined as a bridge replacement project that replaced the structures on I-25 over Santa Fe Drive. This project is now complete.
This phase, known as 1.4, focused primarily on Santa Fe, Alameda and southbound Kalamath. This project put in a single-point urban interchange at Santa Fe and I-25 and made this area similar to University where one light controls all movements.
Phase 1.4 also required the construction of a bridge over the South Platte River that carries southbound I-25 off-ramp traffic onto southbound Santa Fe Drive
In addition, this project widened Alameda Avenue at Santa Fe Drive/Kalamath. This project helped to improve safety for the traveling public in this area, reduce congestion and improve mobility in this heavily traveled section of the metro area.
