CDOT states its case for private partner on U.S. 36

from here.

“State road officials are launching a full-court press with the public and state legislators. They hope to better explain the need for private contractors to take over a $490 million project to expand and maintain U.S. 36 between Denver and Boulder.

CDOT issued a letter of explanation Wednesday morning, and will be holding public meetings on the project Wednesday, 6:30-7:30 p.m. in Westminster’s City Park Recreation Center. The agency will hold a second meeting Thursday, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the old Sam’s Club at 550 S. McCaslin in Louisville.”  Read more…
