With multiple overlapping projects, drivers should expect slower travel times across several parts of the city. Areas near major corridors like 25 Road, Patterson Road, and downtown connections to I-70B will see the most consistent impacts.

Planning alternate routes, allowing extra travel time, and staying alert in construction zones will help reduce delays.
