Lowell Blvd. Over the Nissen Channel

Broomfield County, CO

Installed March 2015

Project Overview

The $7.66 million Lowell Boulevard improvement project went into construction in January, 2017.

This project widened Lowell Boulevard to four lanes to increase traffic flow in a congested area between Midway Blvd. and 120th Ave. in Bloomfield, CO.

Other goals for the project included increased safety for cyclists and pedestrians and reduced flood risk.

Hydraulic & Multi-Use Design

Muller Engineering designed one of the 32’ spans to accommodate a hike/bike path in addition to the main stream channel. The other 32’ span acts as the floodplain during high-flow events, providing the required hydraulic capacity when needed. Precast walls have a stained formliner finish with custom precast pilasters.
