Roadtrippin' Colorado Style

Exit 140 - Bus 25 North/US 85/ S. Nevada Avenue/ Tejon Street  aerial picture

This exit, along with Woodmen Road, was recently redone. For COSMIX, not much more will occur. I-25 already has 3 lanes in each direction, and all of the entrance and exit ramps are up to par. The design on the surface streets left a lot to be desired, though. The engineer who designed 4 signalized intersections within ½ mile of each other needs to be shot. I'll update pictures as necessary.
