Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Construction Impacts
While the city will minimize impacts to the fullest extent possible, there will be impacts along 63rd Street just south of CO 119 to Twin Lakes Road. Construction is anticipated for Oct. 7, 2024 to fall 2025.
Travel Impacts
View travel impact updates and suggested detours on the city’s Cone Zones map. Travelers can expect:
- Impacts to the vehicle lanes, with single and full lane closures as needed, bus stop impacts, and detours for people walking and biking along 63rd Street from the railroad tracks south of CO 119 to Twin Lakes Road.
- 63rd Street to be periodically reduced to single-lane vehicle traffic, anticipated for this winter.
- A full road closure of 63rd Street, between Nautilus and Jay, with detours, anticipated for this winter.
Community members can continue to access nearby neighborhoods and businesses throughout construction, though may experience detours. Access to specific driveways may be impacted.
Community members in the area may also experience nearby travel impacts from state and county transportation projects, unrelated to this project.
Water Service Impacts
There may also be limited local impacts to water service for short periods of time during construction. The project team will work directly with affected community members in advance of local impacts.
