Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)
The phase three traffic shift is completed. The eastbound traffic on 19th street over the lid is mostly in its final configuration. We have had comments concerned about the lane width. The lane is 14 feet wide, a standard interstate lane is only 12 feet wide. The fire department, snow plows and CDOT maintenance all reviewed and approved.
Removal of the asphalt on the old detour will be done late this week. There will also be some drainage work in the northeast quadrant which will be done from the trail. There has been some 6th Avenue trail use from the closure up the hill to the south and then over to West Campus Drive via a social trail. This use will be blocked during the drainage work.
Pre-cast panels placement continues on the walls under the bridge.
Excavation will begin on the remaining US 6 mainline on the south side of the lid.
There is a construction viewing area in the northwest corner that can be accessed from Parfet Estates Drive, and will be an excellent location to view ongoing work. Please park legally.

At 11th Street from Illinois to Arapahoe, the new inlet and pipe are in place. The street will be patched back towards the end of the week.

New Downtown Parking Changes
Just a reminder to those who haven't been downtown on a weekday yet, there are new parking changes now in effect. You can park anywhere for free for the first two hours, but if you need to park longer, you'll need to go to a parking garage or a parking lot that allows visitors to stay beyond that two-hour limit for an additional $2 per hour. It's also worth noting that this is only on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Weekends and holidays, parking is free.
Visit our
Parking page online for maps of where the parking changes are in effect, and to familiarize yourself with the new rules.
