The Truscott intersection is the City of Aspen’s first major intersection south of Maroon Creek on State Highway 82. The intersection needed to be modified to improve vehicular flow, create a safe pedestrian access to bus routes on SH 82, and accommodate trail traffic crossing Truscott Drive. In order to achieve these goals, the intersection needed to be modified and two intersecting pedestrian underpasses constructed – one beneath Truscott Drive and one beneath the highway. New traffic signals were also part of the design.
