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–Fall 2025)

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 (Fall 2025–Summer/Fall 2026)

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.

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

Work is progressing on the Old Hampden Utility Improvements Project. The current closure is on Old Hampden Avenue from South Pearl Street to South Washington Street and is expected to last until late August.


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.
