DIA Opens Public Survey to Shape Peña Boulevard Overhaul

Feedback collected through the new questionnaire will guide DEN’s search for a preferred design under a federal environmental review.

Overview

  • The survey is open through Dec. 31, 2025 and invites passengers, workers, and community members to share travel habits, concerns, and update preferences.
  • Responses will help define a locally preferred alternative within the federally required NEPA scoping process before any upgrades proceed.
  • Peña Boulevard, now more than 30 years old, carries over 139,000 vehicles daily, leading to congestion, higher crash rates, and escalating maintenance needs.
  • Concepts under consideration include a dedicated bus lane, a carpool or toll lane, and collector or frontage roads to separate airport and local traffic.
  • DIA estimates construction could start as soon as 2028 and take about two years, contingent on NEPA approval and final selection.
