PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — Pueblo is getting closer to starting a project that would link the west side of Pueblo with the rest of the city.

The West Side Connector Project is currently in its design phase.

Pueblo Public Works says this project includes building and fixing the following:

The project costs more than $16 million, with funding coming from the Federal Highway Administration.
