The City of Littleton and the Colorado Department of Transportation collaborated on an intersection improvement project along Platte Canyon Road. Intersection work will occur at the intersections of South Platte Canyon Road and West Bowles Avenue at Mile Point 5.3 and South Platte Canyon Road and West Mineral Avenue at MP 7.4. The project is expected to be complete by summer 2026.
The first phase of the intersection project happened over a two-month period at the intersection of South Platte Canyon Road and West Mineral Avenue. The work included enhancing pedestrian and bicycle safety, resolving traffic conflicts, improving bus stop access, and upgrading signal equipment. The design incorporates various improvements to accessible pedestrian ramps, pedestrian and bicycle crossings, expanded turning lanes, bus stop enhancements and upgraded signal equipment. In May 2026, crews moved operations to the next intersection at South Platte Canyon Road and West Bowles Avenue. Jalisco International, Inc., of Commerce City, is the contractor for this project.
The intersection improvements of separated crossings will ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. The improvements will also include the installation of all-new, advanced signal equipment to modernize traffic management. Upgraded bus stops will enhance accessibility and convenience for public transportation users.
