Our work

NextGen Highways Colorado is working to implement policy changes to allow for the co-location of transmission lines in Colorado’s interstate highways. When policy changes are implemented, we will work with utilities, transmission developers, state agencies, and other stakeholders to encourage the consideration of highway corridors for new transmission development.

Legislative work

While the Colorado Department of Transportation can allow for transmission line co-location in interstate highway corridors through their public/private initiative process, new legislation can streamline and codify CDOT processes for transmission line co-location on all state highways.

The map illustrates the opportunity for co-locating transmission lines in highway and interstate corridors.
