Old Hampden Improvements

The City of Englewood is making significant upgrades to Old Hampden Avenue to enhance its infrastructure and create a safer, more welcoming corridor for everyone. These improvements are being carried out in two major phases:

Phase 1: Utility Improvements (January 2025–February 2026)

The first phase focuses on replacing aging underground water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems to ensure reliable service for years to come.

Phase 2: Complete Streets Project (Paused)

PROJECT ON HOLD

The second phase redesigns Old Hampden above ground with ADA improvements, better sidewalks, upgraded bus stops, and traffic-calming features, creating a more accessible, safer environment for all travelers.

On July 20, 2026, Englewood City Council voted not to award a construction contract for the Old Hampden Complete Streets Project. As a result, the project will not move forward as planned. Future improvements in this area may be considered as separate projects and would include community and stakeholder outreach as part of the planning process.

As utility work continues along Old Hampden Avenue, the City of Englewood is adjusting the construction timeline to allow for a more efficient and coordinated approach. Multiple new phases will be added to the utility portion of the project, pending city council approval. This additional work ensures that the entire length of aged and decaying storm pipe will be replaced prior to the Complete Streets construction, reducing the risk of failure of old pipe under new improvements, limiting the need to revisit completed areas and minimizing disruption to surrounding businesses, hospitals and residents.

The Complete Streets streetscape improvements originally planned to begin this fall will now be postponed. The project is expected to go out to bid in November, with construction anticipated to begin in early spring 2026.
Complete Streets construction will now begin in 2026, in the meantime, utility crews will continue making progress in the corridor to support the upcoming improvements. Third-party utility and communication contractors will be in the area replacing and relocating lines to prepare for future construction.
Progress to Date:

More than 600 linear feet of concrete stormwater box culvert installed

Water main replacements completed between Logan Street and Pearl Street

Ongoing progress on storm main upgrades and coordination east of Pearl Street

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue making vital infrastructure improvements. This expanded approach will help ensure long-term reliability, reduce future disruptions and set the stage for the upcoming Complete Streets transformation.

The city has received the 100% design plans from the consultant, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig. The City of Englewood Staff will review the final plans and provide feedback to FHU.
As this project is funded through a Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) grant, it requires a special sign-off process. Once approved by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), these finalized plans will be posted for contractors to submit bids in late spring/early summer. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2025 and continue through summer 2026.
