Farewell to COSMIX

The COSMIX project, the widening of I25 through Colorado Springs is set to wrap up today, at least the major construction. All in all, I've got to say, nice job. Traffic tie-ups were actually not as bad as I had expected since the project began in 2005. I25 will now have three lanes in each direction along 12-plus miles from south of the Bijou interchange to just south of North Academy Boulevard.

Of course, being a vibrant and growing metro area, construction will likely always be with us. The Cimmarron bridge project is still underway. Major construction on that project is scheduled to be done by Spring of 08, with more minor work to follow (sidewalks and bike paths).
