Phase 1: Utility Improvements (January–Winter 2025)

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

What to Expect During Construction

  • Phase 1 Utility Improvements: Construction will occur in phases, with street closures impacting one or more blocks at a time.
  • Phase 2 Complete Streets Construction: Through traffic is expected to remain open, but minor disruptions may occur during this phase.

Current Road Closures and Detours

The current traffic closure impacts Old Hampden east of South Washington Street through the South Clarkson Street intersection. This traffic control is estimated to remain in place until at least early November.

Crews will continue upgrading aging utility infrastructure along the corridor, including water and stormwater pipes originally installed in the 1950s. These systems are nearing the end of their useful life and have contributed to water main breaks and storm-related flooding in the area.

    The City of Englewood is excited to announce the official start of the improvements on Old Hampden in the Wellness District.

    Starting Monday, January 6, 2025, crews will begin critical utility upgrades along Old Hampden Avenue, kicking off a two-phase project that will enhance the infrastructure and streetscape of this important corridor.

    The first road closure will impact E. Hampden Avenue between S. Pennsylvania Street and S. Grant Street. This section of road will be closed to through traffic as crews begin the utility work. Detours will be in place to help guide drivers around the closure. Please follow posted detour signs and allow extra time for your commute as work progresses. This closure is expected to last until late February. Afterward, rolling closures will continue along Old Hampden Avenue, moving toward S. Broadway. The sidewalk on the south side of Old Hampden will remain open for pedestrians throughout construction.

    This closure marks the start of Phase 1, which will focus on upgrading underground water, sewer, and stormwater systems to ensure reliable service for the future. Phase 1 is expected to continue through Summer 2025.

    What’s Next?

    The Old Hampden Complete Streets Project will be completed in two phases:

    • Phase 1 (January–Summer 2025): Underground utility upgrades, including the replacement of aging water, sewer, and stormwater systems.
    • Phase 2 (Summer 2025–Summer 2026): Above-ground streetscape improvements, including ADA-compliant sidewalks, upgraded bus stops, and traffic-calming measures.
