Project Progress Update - November 2025

The Wadsworth Improvement Project remains on schedule. Construction began in November 2021, and the overall project is expected to be substantially complete by the end of this year, with final finishing work scheduled for completion in spring 2026.

Work on irrigation and landscaping is underway throughout the entire corridor. Work on pond structures is on-going. Crews are preparing for a major traffic pattern change with signs and lane striping.

Sound wall construction near 35th Avenue is expected to be complete in December.

Two new continuous flow intersections (CFIs) are coming to Wadsworth Boulevard in December as part of the Wadsworth Improvement project. The CFI at Wadsworth and 38th is expected to open first on Dec. 9, pending weather. In anticipation of opening Wadsworth Boulevard's new intersection layout, Wheat Ridge introduces FAQ Fridays! Each Friday, a new CFI frequently asked question will be answered and added to this page.

Project Overview

This project includes modernizing and improving Wadsworth from 35th Avenue to I-70 with efficient and safe intersection designs, safer entrances and exits for vehicles accessing businesses, a continuous sidewalk on the west, and a bike/pedestrian path on the east side of Wadsworth from 35th Avenue to the Clear Creek Trail.

The project constructs continuous flow intersections (CFI) at both 38th Avenue and 44th Avenue, designed to keep traffic moving more efficiently by eliminating traditional left-turn signal phases. The project is expected to be complete in spring 2026.
