During the week of August 29:

Grading on N 185th Street

Sidewalk grading and streetlight base installation will begin on the south side of N 185th Street and at times may require a single lane closure eastbound on N 185th Street. The driveway to Bartell’s may be affected, so drivers should continue to utilize the entrance at Midvale Avenue.

Crews have completed major pieces of construction work on N 185th Street including excavating, grading and paving. Thanks to everyone for their patience during the recent closure on N 185th Street.

Paving and curb installation at N 175th Street

Crews will pave the north side of N 175th Street on Monday and Tuesday nights between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Driveways will be temporarily affected and drivers should follow the direction of flaggers.

During the day, crews will continue forming and pouring curbs, installing root boxes, and preparing for driveway installation. To safely complete this work, a single westbound lane of N 175th Street will be closed between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Construction activities on the west side of Aurora between N 165th and N 175th Streets

Crews will continue to install storm lines, utility vaults, and the joint utility trench (JUT) in City right-of-way on the west side of Aurora between N 165th and N 175th Streets. As usual, two lanes of traffic in each direction on Aurora will be maintained during this work.

Grading and pouring curb on Midvale and the Interurban Trail

Crews will continue grading and pouring curb on Midvale Avenue, north of N 175th Street. A single lane closure will be necessary on Midvale between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to provide enough room to complete this work.

The Interurban Trail adjacent to Midvale is closed between N 175th Street and the north driveway to Walgreens. Pedestrians and cyclists are asked to adhere to construction signage and use identified pedestrian pathways.

N 170th Street on the west side of Aurora temporarily closed

N 170th Street on the west side of Aurora will be temporarily closed to complete utility work. This work will occur during the day and the street will reopen at night.

Ronald Wastewater construction work on Aurora

Ronald Wastewater is installing underground pipe on Aurora between N 192nd and N 195th Streets, unrelated to the Aurora Corridor Project. They will temporarily close one northbound lane on Aurora from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. through mid-October.

Stay safe during construction

The corridor looks different now that traffic has shifted to the east side of Aurora and crews are working on the west side.
