The Week & Weekend Ahead: February 18, 2020

• Ames Construction will be installing two conduits across E. Colfax Avenue, which will require temporary, full lane closures across Colfax around Jackson Street. To minimize disruption to residents, businesses and commuters, current plans are to perform the work between 10 p.m. Saturday, February 22 and 5 a.m. Sunday, February 23.
• Crews conducted work on water lines beginning at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 8. Work was completed earlier than anticipated, with water fully restored to residents and businesses by 5 a.m. on Sunday, February 9. Thank you for your patience and understanding while crews performed this critical work.
• The westbound lanes of E. Colfax around Jackson Street will remain closed during the first phase of construction. The eastbound lanes of E. Colfax will remain open (with the exception of the conduit installation on February 22-23, mentioned above) and adjusted during this time to provide one eastbound and one westbound lane for traffic.
• Please note that vehicles traveling westbound on Colfax Avenue are able to turn right on northbound Harrison Street for access to local businesses and the neighborhood. Businesses in the project area are open during construction.
• During the first phase of construction, the sidewalk on the north side of E. Colfax around the intersection at Jackson Street will be closed.
• The lane closures on E. Colfax necessitated temporarily moving the entrance to National Jewish Health (NJH) to 14th Avenue. Signage has been added to help patients find that entrance. Additionally, pedestrian access to NJH is currently located on 14th Avenue.

*Construction is also underway on the National Jewish Health new Center for Outpatient Health on the northwestern most section of the former patient parking lot, situated at E. Colfax Avenue, between Jackson and Garfield Streets. For more information about this project, please visit https://nationaljewish.org/center-for-outpatient-health/overview.
