Weekend Paving Work Put Colorado DOT's Refurbished I-70 Into Final Alignment
The Denver Post reports, Colorado DOT’s $1.3 billion Central 70 project was scheduled for “a breakneck weekend of final paving work” with the expectation it would put the last segment of the huge project into final alignment by this morning. “When drivers return to the road at 5 AM [today], they’ll notice a roomier configuration that matches I-70’s eastbound side — with fresh asphalt, wider lanes and space for the express toll lane that’s being added. . . .” According to CDOT, the project’s remaining tasks, including toll equipment testing, will have comparatively little impact on traffic. Tolling is expected to start early next year.

ALXnow reports, an I-395 ramp in northern Virginia that has been reserved for HOV-3+ vehicles will be opened to solo, toll-paying drivers effective September 9. It is currently the only ramp in the corridor closed to express lanes toll traffic. Transurban, the express lanes operator, and Virginia DOT stated, “Converting the ramp will offer vehicles who are traveling with fewer than three people the option to pay a toll to exit to Seminary Road . . . , or to enter the southbound [express lanes] from Seminary Road. Dynamic message signs currently installed on Seminary Road will display real-time toll prices to destinations available from the ramp. . . .”
Patch (Old Town Alexandria, VA) reports that Transurban requested the ramp modification.

WIBW reports, the Kansas Turnpike Authority has launched its annual, online Customer Satisfaction Survey. Each year, the agency seeks public feedback on its performance and planning. “Those who use the Turnpike — whether daily or occasionally — are encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences with KTA to help staff prioritize future projects and make internal improvements.” KTA will hold a drawing to award Amazon gift cards to six of the survey respondents.
