Gov. Bill Ritter (D)
Gov. Bill Ritter has told the Obama administration that more transportation projects in the state are ready to go forward with the help of the recently-enacted federal economic stimulus legislation.
The governor certified today that an additional 30 projects, on which about $194 million in federal money would be spent, are ready to more forward.
The latest certification of projects, which is required by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed in Denver by President Barack Obama last month, brings Colorado's total transportation funding from the federal stimulus bill to $339 million.
Ritter has certified a total of 48 transportation projects.
Among the projects certified today and which will now receive federal funding are widening and other improvements of C-470 in Douglas County, construction of an interchange at U.S. 285 and Elk Creek Road, renovations to Denver's Union Station, and replacement of the Alameda bridge at I-25 and Santa Fe Boulevard.
Colorado will receive more than $400 million for highway-related transportation from the federal economic stimulus legislation, as well as $103 million for transit projects.
