The Central-70 project started two years ago and has been plagued with delays.

The project will expand a ten-mile corridor between Interstate 25 in Denver to Chambers Road in Aurora. A tolled express lane will be added in each direction.

Contractors are asking for more time to work at night to get the project done. As it stands right now, the project is about 10 months behind schedule.

The job carries a price tag of 1.2 billion dollars. As of right now, the project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2023.
