Northeast Corner of 46th Avenue and Brighton Boulevard The Colorado Department of Transportation’s Central 70 Project, in partnership with Kiewit Meridiam Partners and other local sponsors, is hosting this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition that will feature 25 stations chronologically installed throughout the lowered section of I-70, between Brighton Boulevard and Clayton Street, offering a look at the history of Colorado and the Globeville Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods, the origins of the interstate system and the need for the Central 70 Project. You ll also be able to walk more than a half-mile along the new lanes of I-70 and see how the crew has worked around the viaduct before the Mile High Shift, when all six lanes of I-70 traffic will move off of the viaduct and into the lowered section of the highway. It s free, but registration is required here.
