Bike Improvements Coming to the Nickel Street and Industrial Lane Intersection
People who Ride Broomfield will soon see big benefits at the Nickel Street and Industrial Lane intersection. This project, launching in Spring 2025 and wrapping up by Fall, is designed to make biking safer and more convenient at one of Broomfield's busiest crossroads.
Key Bike Features and Upgrades
Safer Crossings: The project introduces synchronized traffic signals and a redesigned intersection, giving cyclists predictability and safer opportunities to cross.
Upgraded Bike Facilities: Substandard and outdated bicycle facilities are being improved, with new bike-friendly designs and ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps for seamless, accessible connections.
Continuity and Network Expansion: The new intersection is designed to complement the Industrial Lane Bikeway project. Cyclists will have direct, improved routes linking US 287 at Nickel Street with the US 36 / Broomfield and Flatiron Stations, making it easier to connect across Broomfield's growing active transportation network.
Better Connectivity: This intersection is being rebuilt with a focus on people who bike, walk, and roll, supporting Broomfield's vision for safe, accessible, and connected streets for all.
Construction Impacts and Detours
A full intersection closure is planned from early August to late September 2025, with posted detours using W. 120th Ave., Highway 128, and US 36.
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the construction period, allowing people biking or walking to continue traveling safely, even during roadway work.
Construction is scheduled to take place from April through September, so expect changes and use alternate routes as needed.
Why This Matters for People Who Ride Broomfield
This intersection is a vital link between neighborhoods, businesses, and transit, and improving bike infrastructure here removes a key barrier for local riders.
The upgrades are part of a broader investment in Broomfield's bike network, which ties into bikeways and regional transit, making it easier, safer, and more attractive to choose two wheels for everyday trips.
When finished, the upgraded intersection will offer safer, more direct travel options for people of all ages and abilities who ride Broomfield.
