Connecting Greeley. Improving Safety. Planning for Growth.

US 34 is a major transportation corridor in Greeley and northern Colorado, serving thousands of residents, businesses, commuters, and visitors every day. As Greeley continues to grow, so does the need for a transportation system that safely and efficiently connects people to jobs, schools, services, and other destinations throughout the region.

To meet those needs, the City of Greeley, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), is advancing the Mobility Enhancements for Regional Growth and Equity (MERGE) Project. MERGE is designed to improve safety, mobility, and connectivity along the US 34 corridor while supporting the community's long-term transportation needs.

What is Being Improved?

New Interchanges

MERGE will replace the existing signalized intersections at 35th Avenue and 47th Avenue with grade-separated interchanges, eliminating traffic signals on US 34. These changes will improve safety, reduce traffic conflicts, and help people and goods move more efficiently through the corridor.

Regional Mobility Hub

A new Regional Mobility Hub at Centerplace will serve as a central connection point for local transit, walking, biking and shared mobility services. The hub will make it easier for residents and visitors to access destinations throughout Greeley and the surrounding region.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Improvements

New pedestrian and bicycle facilities, including a pedestrian underpass outside of the new interchanges, connecting north and south Greeley, will provide safer and more comfortable options for people walking, biking and rolling through the corridor.

Corridor Infrastructure Upgrades

Upgrades to key Transportation infrastructure along the US 34 corridor will improve roadway conditions, reliability, and long-term performance while supporting future growth and mobility needs.

Project Goals

Enhance Traffic and Pedestrian Safety

  • Reduce crashes by 40%
  • Create safer crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists
  • Support Greeley's Vision Zero goal

Promote Multimodal Connectivity & Equity

  • Improve access to transit, walking, biking and shared mobility options
  • Strengthen connections between neighborhoods, jobs, schools and services

Mitigate Regional Congestion

  • Reduce congestion and travel delays
  • Improve freight movement and regional connectivity
  • Upgrade aging transportation infrastructure

Support Environmental Sustainability

  • Reduce vehicle idling and greehouse gas emissions
  • Encourage transit use and multimodal travel
  • Protect natural, historic and community resources

    Thank you for this question! In May, the city selected the company RS&H to serve as the engineering consultant for the project. In the weeks since, our focus has been on important foundational work, like defining the scope for each of the four project elements, finalizing the intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) necessary to manage the project, and setting the remaining design schedule. Work is underway behind the scenes, and the focus is on positioning the project to move forward safely, efficiently, and yes, transparently.

    One key component of our current scoping work involves putting together an outreach plan to create a regular and robust cadence of public information across the project. The details are being finalized, but some tactics we're considering include:

    • A project office near Centerplace where community members can quickly visit to ask questions and learn more about the project status
    • Public meetings and open houses throughout the remainder of the design process
    • An on-call phone number and email address to gather public questions and comments


    From a public perspective, we know it feels like this project has been a long time coming, especially for folks who have been following along since the beginning. (We agree — we are ready to see it come to fruition, too!) Right now, we're laying critical groundwork for the project's success. Once those elements are in place, our team is committed to keeping the entire community up to date on design progress and construction.
