Improvements to the Richey Park drainage system are moving forward as expected along 13th Avenue from Everett Court to Garrison. Beginning on Monday, July 19 Garrison will close for crews to cross the pipe under the roadway. This closure will be in place for approximately two weeks and current scheduling indicates that Garrison will reopen the night of Friday, July 30, 2010.
The underground drainage improvements along 13th Avenue between Zephyr and Carr are very near completion, as crews complete final connections to existing pipes.
The concrete deck on the light rail bridge over Wadsworth is now in place. Work on this bridge continues as crews work on the concrete platform of the station on top of the bridge. The remaining RTD acquired property at 14th and Wadsworth will be taken down later this month, completing the demolition activities in this area.

 



 

 

 

 

 



Drainage improvements on the south side of 13th Avenue at Saulsbury Street have closed the intersection. This activity has taken a little longer than anticipated, as a new design had to be incorporated to accommodate unexpected water lines in the area. Crews expect to have both north and south 13th Avenue open at Saulsbury by the 23rd of July.

The utility conflicts at 13th Avenue and Harlan Street have been resolved and crews are finalizing work on the large drainage structure under the roadway. The unexpected delays in this area have hindered the re-opening of this intersection, but the West Corridor team is confident the roadway will open soon and residents and businesses along this stretch of Harlan Street will find the drainage system a great improvement over the past system and an enhancement to the neighborhood.
