I-25 South Gap Transportation
Client | Kraemer North America |
Completion Date | November 2023 |
Location | Castle Rock, Colo. |
This project for the Colorado Department of Transportation involved upgrading an 18-mile, four-lane section of I-25 between Denver and Colorado Springs to add an express toll lane in each direction and make the highway safer for travelers and wildlife.
As the electrical contractor for the project, Sturgeon Electric relocated backbone conduit for the highway system’s existing fiber optic communication infrastructure. This allowed for the installation of new Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) devices as well as future maintenance and additions.
In addition to relocating the existing communications infrastructure, they installed a new fiber backbone the length of the project which required more than 54,000 feet of conduit. Sturgeon Electric also installed all the ITS devices, tolling, signage and a weigh-in-motion scale.
ENR Mountain States recognized the project with a 2024 Award of Merit in the highway/bridge category.
