SH 56 Corridor Access Control Plan

The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) along with Region 4 of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Town of Berthoud, Larimer County, Weld County, and the Town of Johnstown have completed an Access Control Plan (ACP) report for the State Highway 56 corridor in Larimer and Weld Counties.  This plan includes a portion of Larimer County Road 8 immediately west of U. S. Highway 287 and Weld County Road 44 between Interstate Highway 25 and Weld County Road 13.

The report provides a comprehensive roadway access design plan.  The plan strives to achieve the optimum balance between state and local transportation planning objectives, and to preserve and support the current and future functional integrity of the highway. 

Now that the report has been completed, CDOT will be pursuing intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) with the four units of local government (Berthoud, Johnstown, Larimer County, and Weld County) to adopt the ACP for State Highway 56.

The report is available by clicking on “SH 56 Corridor ACP” the listings below.
