The award comes after Congressman Evans wrote a letter to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy expressing his support for Adams County’s application to the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development grant program (BUILD) in February of this year. “As a former law enforcement officer, I understand how critical safe and reliable infrastructure is to protecting Colorado families. I'm proud to help deliver nearly $1.5 million to Adams County for this long-overdue project, which will reduce congestion, improve safety, and strengthen one of the busiest transportation corridors in our community. These improvements will make travel safer, shorten commute times, and keep people and commerce moving throughout Northern Colorado.” — Congressman Gabe Evans “Adams County is thrilled and grateful to receive this BUILD grant, and excited to begin taking steps toward the Interchange at US 85 and 120th Avenue and for the positive impact it will have on our residents and economy,” said Julie Duran Mullica, Chair of the Adams County Board of Commissioners. “This is one of our region’s most critical corridors, and this project will support better safety, sustainability, and mobility for both daily commute and freight use.” –– Commissioner Mullica Background: The BUILD award provides Adams County with nearly $1.5 million to complete the final design and pre-construction activities for the planned 120th Avenue overpass above the Union Pacific Railroad at the US-85 corridor. The existing at-grade rail crossing regularly causes significant traffic delays and creates operational and safety challenges at the intersection. The planned project will construct an overpass and interchange at US-85 and 120th Avenue, improving traffic flow, enhancing pedestrian and bicycle access to Riverdale Regional Park, supporting the movement of freight critical to Colorado’s agricultural and energy industries, and strengthening connections between residential communities and employment centers. | 1 | 2026-07-14T07:08:55Z | 2026-07-14T07:10:52Z |
