On Wadsworth Boulevard a parade of orange barrels marks a work zone that had just entered its fifth year of construction — with rearranged traffic patterns and business access cut-offs as crews laid new lanes and engineered burly intersections designed to shorten drivers’ time spent making turns.⁠

The construction on the notorious chokepoint on metro Denver’s west side is easing up this month, Wheat Ridge officials say.⁠
⁠
