The City of Grand Junction plans to install three new entry signs.

Signs will be installed along Interstate Highway 70 east of Horizon Drive, I-70 west of the 22 Road interchange and at U.S. Highway 50 and 30 Road.

The new signs were designed to capture the spirit of the community, from local art to inspiring landscapes. They will be lit at night and the railroad tracks will glow with blue, symbolizing the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison rivers.

“The design of the entry signs is a product of the community’s input during the 18-month branding process with Visit Grand Junction. Residents asked that the brand continue to honor the past, recognize the importance of art, represent the confluence of our rivers and allow Grand Junction to be presented in a modern way that speaks to our open landscapes and the unique spirit of our community,” said City Manager Greg Caton. “The final design leveraged the unique elements of the area’s geography as well as the rich cultural history of our railroad.”

The city tested the design and shared those results and the design with the Grand Junction City Council. Bud Signs is constructing the signs as part of a $426,000 contract. The installation of signs at all three locations is scheduled to be complete by mid-December.
