Project Progress (Updated 7/11)

As we move into the heart of summer, our construction efforts continue to gain momentum on 16th Street. Here's a snapshot of the work that has transpired and what's ahead:

Ongoing and Completed Tasks

The westbound closure of 16th Street is now underway.

Our team has been diligently working on the sidewalk and curb and gutter demolition on the northern side of 16th Street, progressing from 8th Avenue towards 11th Avenue. Sidewalk removal will start on July 14 at 7 a.m. with two crews working to complete the work. As sidewalks are removed, a crushed base will be placed and compacted. This compact base will be safe to walk on.

Additionally, we've successfully poured concrete pavement between 9th and 10th Avenue, a critical step forward. The team was proud to reopen 10th Avenue on July 4th, just in time for the Independence Day Parade, a feat that brought festive spirit and celebration as we honored the holiday.

Upcoming Work

Looking ahead, the demolition of sidewalk, curb and gutter will continue its westward journey along the northern half of 16th Street. Our focus will then shift to pouring fresh concrete for the new curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, followed by concrete paving.

On Wednesday, July 16, the team will begin to remove traffic lights. Temporary 4-way stop signs will be put in place to maintain pedestrian and driver safety.

The overall project is now 10% complete. This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and we are eager to keep pushing forward towards our ultimate goal: a beautiful and safe transit corridor along 16th Street.
