And the magic phrase is...
"Project mobilization!" In case you've been living under a rock or just hiding from the world for the last few months, we've got this little project set to kick off in short order at the intersection of US 6 and 19th Street. Hard to believe the time is almost here, but Feb. 8 is go-date for the Linking Lookout interchange project!
We're going to do our best to keep you informed and up-to-date as the project progresses. Lots of information is already available at
www.LinkingLookout.com, including timelines, maps, and even the history of the project. We also have a video there of the Jan. 28 community meeting where city staff and the project contractor gathered to present information and answer questions. Each Tuesday we'll also update you on the latest in the
Current Projects section below.
Of course, Golden is a lot more than one single construction project, however big it is! Read on to learn about what else is happening in Golden, and have a great week!
