Denver Public Works Press Release

Denver Public Works Wastewater Management Division will be installing a storm sewer underneath eastbound 6th Avenue between Hudson Street and Eudora Street. The project will begin at the intersection of eastbound 6th Avenue and Hudson Street and will proceed west on eastbound 6th Avenue to Eudora Street. The work will begin January 18, 2010 and will be finished in late July 2010. The need for this storm sewer installation was identified in the Storm Sewer Master Plan.

BT Construction will be the contractor on the job and will be installing a storm sewer pipe up to 42 inches in diameter.

Due to the expansiveness of this project, a full lane closure of portions of eastbound 6th Avenue will be closed between the hours of 7:30 am and 3:30 pm, with one lane open outside this timeframe. This will be a moving closure meaning that the closure will begin at Hudson Street and move west, ending at the intersection of eastbound 6th Avenue and Eudora Street. Adequate signage will be in place alerting drivers of the project and detour.

The public’s patience and cooperation during construction is greatly appreciated.
