DENVER – May 6, 2016 – Beginning Sunday, May 8, a section of inbound Peña Boulevard that splits toward the west terminal entrance will be reduced from four lanes to three lanes and realigned temporarily while crews replace waterproofing that is part of the Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) University of Colorado A Line overpass. Denver Transit Partners (DTP), RTD’s contractor, is performing the work.
The project will use a phased approach that will require realignments on parts of inbound Peña Boulevard as well as lane reductions for approximately six months.
Crews will begin lane closures at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, so that crews can prepare for the traffic shift. The lane closures will continue overnight until the morning of Sunday, May 8, when the inbound section of Pena Boulevard that leads to the west terminal will be reduced to three lanes and shifted to one side of the road just after the east/west terminal split. Traffic headed toward the east terminal will be required to slow down at the terminal split. Temporary pavement markings and overhead signs will be installed to direct drivers to parking, the Westin Denver International Airport and passenger departures and arrivals.
In early August, crews will shift the traffic to the other side of the terminal west road so that crews can access the remaining part of the overpass.
Motorists should expect reduced speed limits of 35 mph and 25 mph in the area of the construction for the duration of the project, which is expected to last through late November. Drivers are asked to reduce speeds and use caution in the construction areas.
Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. DEN is the primary economic engine for the state of Colorado, generating more than $36 billion for the region annually.
