The Department of Transporation and Infrastructure said that, once up-and-running, the BRT will offer all-day rides on the busy street with enhanced driver amenities and a dedicated travel lane in each direction.
The project also aims to shorten travel times for transit riders commuting between Denver and Aurora, providing a connection between the neighboring cities.

The BRT project has also received $150 million in federal funding — the maximum allowed the discretionary grant category.
Some area residents expressed concern about the project last year, namely that it would create traffic issues in adjacent neighborhoods and reduce parking options, forcing drivers to park in residential areas.
