Highway 2 Improvements

Commerce City is conducting two projects along the Highway 2 corridor aimed at enhancing safety and improving multimodal travel along the roadway. These two projects consist of a corridor study and a median redesign. Learn more about both projects below.

Please note that these two projects have different contacts for questions and concerns, so please find the correct corresponding information depending on which project you’d like to reach out about.

There are currently no upcoming public input meetings or ongoing surveys at this time. Please see below and check back on this page for future updates!

Highway 2 Corridor Study

Stop sign

This corridor study will establish a unified vision for Highway 2, identify needed multimodal improvements to achieve that vision, and position Commerce City to move seamlessly into the design and implementation of a safer, more functional corridor.

The project team is collaborating with the Highway 2 Medians Design (see below) project to ensure that outreach efforts and corridor recommendations are aligned and meet the needs of the community that lives, works, and travels Highway 2.  

Study Goals

The study will identify areas in need of transformative change along the Highway 2 corridor, which is the only direct link between the northeast and southwest portions of the City. Enhancing safety, improving accommodations for people using active modes, and improving character or aesthetic appeal are all key desired outcomes. The study will build from past foundational work to assess the feasibility and appropriateness of various multimodal improvement concepts for achieving them.

Highway 2 Median Redesign

Highway 2 Median Redesign Map

Commerce City is redesigning and constructing medians on Highway 2 between E. 96th Avenue and E. 104th Avenue, spanning approximately one and a half miles. The project includes safety features such as raised medians and barriers to help reduce the risk of head-on crashes and improve overall roadway safety.

Project Goals

  • The median design will improve mobility and enhance safety on the corridor for motorists.
  • Enhance driver awareness and safety by installing rumble strips and roadway striping.
