MERGE Ahead: Improvements Along U.S. 34

Greeley is growing, and so are our neighboring communities. With growth comes an increase in traffic, which can lead to congestion, air pollution, and crashes. The city is responding to this growth with a major construction project that will improve safety, access and the ease of travel along U.S. 34.

Mobility Enhancements for Regional Growth and Equity, or MERGE, is a public transit project. It will build new U.S. 34 interchanges at 35th and 47th Avenues, as well as a new mobility hub at Centerplace. The project uses multiple transportation components to meet the needs of our fast-growing, young and diverse community, no matter who they are or how they move through Greeley.

Why MERGE?

We expect the MERGE project to offer immediate benefits to our community:

• Reduce approximately 40% of crashes through the reduction of signals on U.S. 34.
• Construct a new "mobility hub" to bring together public transit, bike and car shares, and other ways for people to get where they want to go. It will enhance local transit and expand connections to Centerra, Denver and the airport.
• Create a safer pedestrian connection between the north and south sides of Greeley.
• Decrease air pollution by approximately 40%.
• Increase the consistency and dependability of travel times along U.S. 34.

The city is currently selecting a consultant team to complete the project’s design. We expect construction to begin in late 2026. Below, you can get project updates or ask our project experts questions about the project.
