Construction of Sun Mountain Boulevard

The Sun Mountain Boulevard project involves constructing a new 0.75-mile, two-lane roadway connecting 31st Street to the north and 24th Street to the south. This new roadway will feature stop-controlled intersections at 31st Street and the future 27th Street, crossing Wildhorse Creek Drainageway. Additional improvements include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps, curb and gutter, a new storm sewer system, a bioswale, new water mains, sanitary sewer lines and signing and striping. The crossing at Wildhorse Creek Drainageway will also require a double box culvert, headwalls, wingwalls and channel grading.

The City of Pueblo has initiated the West Side Improvements Project to enhance community connectivity, mobility, and economic vitality. This comprehensive effort includes the construction of Sun Mountain Boulevard and the implementation of three Bus Stop Packages encompassing 67 bus stop locations throughout the west side of the city. The project is funded through a Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant awarded to the City of Pueblo by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
