Proposed Improvements: The Paseo del Norte / I-25 Interchange project would include six main improvements: (1) A free-flow ramp to improve the eastbound-to-southbound traffic movement in the morning during peak travel time (7:00-9:00 am); (2) A flyover ramp to improve the northboundto-westbound traffic movement in the afternoon during peak travel time (4:30-6:30 pm); (3) An overpass at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Paseo del Norte to improve east-west access and local traffic flow; (4) Bicycle and pedestrian improvements to provide a critical bike system link across I-25 and to connect existing paths in the area; (5) Improved freeway access for traffic originating from the area east of the Paseo del Norte / I-25 interchange; and (6) I-25 mainline improvements between the Alameda Boulevard and Jefferson Street interchanges for safety and traffic flow.

Open House Purpose: To present the proposed project and receive comments from the public. Project team representatives will discuss the proposed improvements.
