Aurora Corridor Weekly Construction Update March 28, 2014
Beginning Monday, March 31, night work will occur to remove asphalt in the center median of Aurora and install temporary traffic signals at N 200th Street and N 205th Street. This work will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. The contractor will begin at 7pm and finish by 5am. Inclement weather could cause night work to continue into the week of April 7.
This work is being done in preparation for shifting traffic to the east side of Aurora in mid- to late-April to accommodate future construction activities. During this work, traffic on Aurora Avenue will be reduced to a single lane in each direction between N 198th and N 205th Streets. Flaggers and uniformed police officers will be present to assist with traffic control.
Utility Work
Excavation work will continue during daytime hours (7am to 3:30pm) northward from N 195th Street for utility work on the west side of Aurora. Trucks will be entering and leaving the roadway in this area. Drivers should obey the speed limit and the no left turn signs, and drive carefully through this area. Pedestrians are encouraged to stay clear of work zones.
On Saturday, March 29, crews will be working in the Firlands Way area to prepare for connections to the new water line, beginning at 9am. Water line connections for this area will be done on Sunday evening. Affected residents should receive notices for the connection work.
Access to Firlands Way from Aurora Avenue remains closed for utility installation. During this work, Firlands Way N will have a 24-hour closure; however, local access will be maintained for residents at Firlands Way Condos. Temporary traffic and pedestrian detours will be in place around the work area and flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic control. Parking on Firlands Way N will continue to be restricted.
Upcoming Work
Over the next several weeks, crews also plan to:
- Install a storm drain on the west side of Aurora between N 192nd and N 195th Streets.
- Re-stripe the roadway to shift traffic to the east.
This work will involve lane closures and traffic shifts for the night work.
