(T)he full U.S. 36 bike path is finished and is opening to riders Tuesday…
The completed bikeway will allow cyclists to ride from Boulder to Westminster without interacting with vehicles.
The first phase, from Westminster to Louisville, opened last year. Now the final stretch, from 88th Street in Louisville to Table Mesa Drive in Boulder, is finished.
The total completed path is 18 miles long and features 12-foot-wide lanes with 2-foot shoulders and 6-inch thick concrete.
Dale Bonner, the executive director of Plenary Roads Denver, which is the concessionaire for the U.S. 36 Express Lanes Project, said that officials are excited for the opening of the path.
“Coloradans have another opportunity to get outdoors, exercise and ride with family and friends or commute between Denver and Boulder,” Bonner said in a statement.

Phase 2 (88th Street to Table Mesa) Update
Schedule and weather permitting, the Phase 2 bikeway from 88th Street in Louisville/Superior to Table Mesa will open in March. Until then, the bikeway remains closed and people are advised not to use any part of this portion of the bikeway. As the bikeway appears to be complete in many areas, it still remains closed to all pedestrian and bikeway users. Construction crews are being delayed with final completion activities due to the high number of riders attempting to access the closed sections of the bikeway. Your cooperation staying off the bikeway is appreciated as we wrap up construction.
