Project Description: The Voyager Bridge over Powers Boulevard project is a part of the overall northern Powers Blvd Extension from SH83 to Voyager Pkwy. It is a PPRTA regional collaborative Priority A project which will connect Powers Blvd with I-25. Powers Blvd currently ends with an at-grade crossing at Voyager Pkwy.

The first portion of the northern Powers Blvd Extension was the completion of the I25 exit ramp (Exit 155) to Voyager Pkwy. The Copper Ridge Metropolitan District, in conjunction with the City and PPRTA, are replacing the at-grade intersection of Powers Blvd and Voyager Pkwy with an interchange which includes a bridge on Voyager Pkwy over Powers Blvd.

Engineering for future phases of SH83 and Voyager Pkwy extension have started.
