Voters Approve Road Projects in Colo., N.J., Maine
Sixty-two percent of Colorado voters approved a state plan to go $2.3 billion in debt to accelerate highway improvements on key roads, including Interstate 25.
The Colorado spending plan, the first in state history to be paid for by bonds, should speed up construction of 28 highway projects, including widening I-25 north of Fort Collins, reconstruction of I-270 near Denver and widening of U.S. 50 from Grand Junction to Delta. Other projects include work on U.S. routes 160, 287, 285 and State Highway 82.
