Project Update - January 2026

The Wadsworth Improvement Project, the largest infrastructure investment in Wheat Ridge history, is now substantially complete. After years of planning and construction, Wadsworth Boulevard is fully open with major safety, mobility, and access improvements, including two continuous-flow intersections (CFIs), upgraded signals, raised medians, new sidewalks, and a multi-use trail connection. This $85 million project was made possible through strong partnerships and funding from local voters, along with federal, state, and regional sources.

While final landscaping and artwork will wrap up this spring, the transformation of this vital corridor is already delivering smoother travel, improved connectivity, and new economic opportunities for the community. Thank you to our residents and businesses for your patience and partnership as we build the next chapter of Wheat Ridge.

The image below explains what a CFI is and how to drive through it. A larger version of the image below is provided on this page. Watch a video to see how CFIs work and review frequently asked questions posted on this page.


Did you know that the project used 30,000 tons of recycled asphalt from the old road as part of the new road base under Wadsworth? Read more fast facts about the Wadsworth Improvement Project. A project overview map is also available on this page.
