New Sound Barrier Walls Going Up Along I-25 In Adams County
NORTHGLENN, Colo. (CBS4) - The Colorado Department of Transportation held a ceremony to begin a construction project that will help silence the noise from Instate 25 in Adams County.
CDOT, Adams County and the city of Northglenn showed off what the new sound barriers will look like Monday. They're taking down old wooden walls that don't provide as much protection from the increased road noise.
"We know it has an impact on the local communities that we pass through. And so when we can do something like improving the sound walls on the highway, we're adding a benefit to the local community," an official said.
CDOT, Adams County and the city of Northglenn also used the knocking of the wall down as a symbol of what can be done when the three groups cooperate.
