Governor Ritter’s office awarded Mesa County’s 29 Road overpass project with a large grant on Monday. The governor approved a $3.2 million grant that will be used to improve the flow of traffic and mobility in the Grand Valley along the Colorado River and the Union Pacific Railroad. The overpass will link drivers coming from Orchard Mesa to I-70B and North Avenue.
Jon Peacock, the Mesa County Administrator, says on top of cutting down on travel time, the project will also help motorists save on fuel. Peacock says estimates using current fuel prices indicate that drivers could save as much as $3 million a year due to the overpass. Peacock also says the overpass over the railroads will allow for quicker response times for emergency personnel.
Construction is already underway, and is anticipated to cost around $20 million total, some of which will be offset by the state grant. The overpass is set for completion by fall 2011.
