Project Progress Update - December 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.

Two new continuous flow intersections (CFIs) recently opened on Wadsworth Boulevard. The CFI at Wadsworth and 38th opened on Dec. 9. The CFI at Wadsworth and 44th opened on Dec. 16. 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.

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.
