Peña Blvd. Traffic Alert: Work underway to improve safety and traffic flow.

Starting April 22, work will be performed on Peña Blvd. to improve safety and traffic flow. Drivers will see temporary concrete barriers placed on the shoulders of outbound (leaving DEN) Peña Blvd. from the terminal to Jackson Gap Street and inbound (going to DEN) at the Jackson Gap bridge, along Jackson Gap Street, and on New Castle Street. Nighttime single lane closures are required to place the barriers during the weeks of April 22 and April 29– on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday between 11p.m. and 6 a.m. Nighttime single lane closures are also a possibility the week of May 6 over the same day/ time schedule. Pavement will be temporarily widened to prevent lane reduction in the future. Speeds will be reduced within work zones. Please use caution when driving in the area. The first major phase of this work is anticipated to be complete in October 2024 and an overall project completion date is Fall 2026. Meanwhile, annual bridge maintenance is occurring. It is estimated that various lane reductions in the areas of Gun Club Road and Piccadilly Road will be in place through May 6.

Improving Peña Boulevard

Peña Boulevard has reached its life-expectancy, requiring a major upgrade that will keep pace with DEN growth and reaching Vision 100. Maintaining and appropriately rehabilitating the infrastructure is critical in providing service and good quality to its users and passengers.

Due to Peña Boulevards significant volume and usage the rehabilitation will be completed in four phases to support on-time delivery and to manage the operations and retain some capacity during construction. The first phase consisted of improvements to inbound Peña Boulevard including the reconstruction of Peña Boulevard from Jackson Gap Street to the terminal and concluded in early 2022.

Peña Boulevard Phase 1B work was approved by Denver City Council in March 2024 and construction began April 2024. This phase provides improvements to overall traffic operations and safety for passengers, employees and shuttle traffic.

Phase 1B Now Underway

Reconstruction of Peña Boulevard Outbound and widening of Peña Boulevard bridges (inbound and outbound) over Jackson Gap Street. Provides resiliency for events on Peña Boulevard and reduces O&M costs for pavement maintenance.
Construction of new Direct Connect Ramps from both East and West Terminals to New Castle Street and 78th Avenue. Will meet operational needs of Rental Car companies and DEN Ground Transportation, dedicated routes for buses will remove the buses from the Jackson Gap interchange and will not mix with public traffic.
Reconstruction of Peña Boulevard and Jackson Gap Street to a new diverging diamond interchange. Improves existing operations and meet future growth for vehicle traffic operations; reduces impacts to DEN passengers, Rental Car buses, and other users.

Lasting Improvements, Benefits and Impacts

The Peña Boulevard Phase 1B improvements follow the strategic guiding principals of Vision 100, providing lasting improvements and benefits for today and in advance of known development growth and shuttle/passenger traffic increases at DEN.
