About the project
The CO 119 and Hover intersection construction is a distinct subproject within wider CO 119 mobility and bikeway improvements, not the separately listed CO 119/Sunset Street project or the regional trail expansion.

What happens next
CDOT lists project completion December 2027. Current turns/closures do not prove any bridge span is already open to motorists.
What remains uncertain
$38.3 million is the city's estimated cost of the Hover intersection element, not the entire $165 million CDOT corridor project. The owner confirms staging and work-zone activity; final bridge opening remains future.
