TIGER GRANT

As a result of the remarkable collaborative effort of the North Clear Creek Mitigation Committee, CDOT finds itself well positioned to apply for the TIGER grant from the US Department of Transportation as provided in the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to make substantial improvements in the US 6, US 40, and SH 119 corridor. The project application is named “Roads, Rivers, and Recovery” to describe the multiple benefits of this work. The project meets all the criteria established for selection by improving the safety, quality of ride, reducing delays and showing a significant stimulation of the job market in short term construction jobs and long term tourism and recreation based jobs. The added benefit of the cleanup of the superfund site and restoration of aquatic life to North Clear Creek made possible by the NCCMAC partnership is especially compelling. Our designs and environmental clearances are well underway and we can start work shortly after selection for the grant.

Below you will find links directly to the application itself and an executive summary of the application. Supporting documentation is included in the application and additional information is available on the tabs listed above. We will keep this site updated as news comes in on the selection process.
