On Feb. 17, 2023, the westbound lane of Highway 72 at Gross Dam Road will be temporarily closed to allow for roadside barrier placement. During this time, traffic control will be in place, with flaggers alternating westbound and eastbound traffic through the open lane on Highway 72. These barriers will be in place during the early phases of the intersection work to separate the work zone from traffic as heavy equipment moves through the area.
Beginning the week of Feb. 20 and lasting approximately 10 days, Denver Water’s contractor, Kiewit-Barnard, will be excavating near Highway 72. To ensure motorist and worker safety during this work, flaggers on Highway 72 will control traffic as needed. During this time, there may be intermittent lane closures. Motorists should use caution when driving in the impacted areas and follow all on-site staff instructions and detour signs accordingly.
As with all projects impacting roadways, we will ensure access for all emergency vehicles and continue to coordinate with local public safety personnel.
This work is weather-dependent and timeframes are subject to change. If the schedule changes from what we have shared above we will provide an update. We will provide periodic updates as needed via email, and will continue to provide project updates via the project My Map.
