Jackson Street Storm Drain Construction
The Week Ahead: March 15, 2021
- From March through May, “No Parking” signs will be in place on the north half of the east side of Jackson Street between E. 13th and E. 14th Avenues to accommodate construction traffic as necessary for contractor access and safety. Impacted residents will be notified directly.
- Crews will continue stormwater pipe excavation and installation in the south end of the National Jewish Health (NJH) parking lot and under E. 14th Avenue. During this phase of construction, which is expected to be completed in May or June 2021:
- Full lane closures of E. 14th Avenue will be required between Garfield and Harrison Streets to ensure the safety of the construction crews as they install the pipe twenty-two feet below ground.
- The intersections of Garfield and 14th and Harrison and 14th will remain open to through traffic.
- Local vehicular traffic will be maintained in the area, with the exception of the closure at E. 14th Avenue and Jackson Street.
- Sidewalks on the north side of 14th between Garfield and Harrison will be closed, while sidewalks on the south side of 14th will remain open.
- Access to residences and businesses will be maintained during construction.
- In addition to installation of the new stormwater pipe, you may have noticed increased construction activity and traffic signage in the area generally. This is due to multiple, critical public works projects occurring simultaneously, including lead service line replacement as part of Denver Water’s Lead Reduction Program. Please direct questions about the Lead Reduction Program to lead@denverwater.org or contact Denver Water’s customer care at (303) 893-2444.
- Construction is also underway by NJH on its new Center for Outpatient Health in the former patient parking lot, situated at E. Colfax Avenue, between Jackson and Garfield Streets.
