Old Hampden Improvements

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.

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

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 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.
