The project involves reconstructing I-76 between milepost 90.86 and 92.31 in Morgan County, Colorado, including the replacement of four bridges—two at the BNSF railroad crossings and two at the US6 interchange—and converting the US6 interchange into a tight diamond configuration. A new park-and-ride facility will be added off the CO71 frontage road. The work includes extensive earthwork, removal of existing pavement, concrete box culverts, guardrails, and structures, along with the installation of new concrete pavement in varying thicknesses up to 10.5 inches, embankment material, geomembrane, steel sheet piling (Type II), drainage systems, electrical conduits, curbs, gutters, and LED luminaires. Special provisions mandate revisions to key sections including removal of concrete box culverts, detour of pavement, traffic incident management, and safety edge for pavement. The project also requires adherence to revised plan sheets that detail changes to drainage, grading, SWMP plans, fencing, and material specifications.
