Construction of Ponte della Musica, a dual purpose pedestrian and public transport bridge crossing the substantial River Tiber in Rome, opened in mid 2011. This major crossing joins the banks of the River Tiber between the Foro Italico and the area of Flaminio. The bridge is a key part of the Rome city plan which involves the development of a new east-west axis along the Via Guido Reni on the east bank of the Tiber. It connects various cultural and sporting facilities of the Flaminio district with the Olympic stadium and other sports facilities on the west bank in Monte Mario. The scheme consists of two inclined steel arches supporting a steel deck.

The I25 Express Lanes in Denver were originally built as seven miles of HOV and Rapid Bus Transit lanes between downtown Denver and the US36. In June 2006 they opened to traffic as express lanes which means that solo drivers are now also allowed to use the HOV lanes if they pay a toll. The lanes have proved very popular and there are now plans to extend the scheme along the US36 to Boulder. Although the construction of Phase I of the US36 is already underway, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDoT) and the High Performance Transportation Enterprise (HPTE) have proposed that the Phase II extension along the US36, along with Phase I and the existing I25 express lanes, should be combined into a single design, build, finance and operate concession.

While a formal announcement is still awaited, it seems likely that the on – off project to build a toll road to relieve congestion on the M4 in the Newport area of South Wales is back on.
