Council Updates

Hampden Multimodal Improvements

Project Will Affect Motorists June-August          

The Hampden Multimodal Improvement Project is helping implement a vision for Hampden Avenue developed with residents and businesses to improve safety and provide more comfortable and convenient crossings. The project will take place on Hampden Ave from I-25 to E. Girard Ave.

Some impacts to motorists will occur throughout the project with the majority happening during the construction of the raised median. When work begins mid-June, motorists can expect westbound lane closures on Hampden Avenue between Girard Avenue and Florence Street.

Working hours will be from 7am to 5pm weekdays. Some night work may occur.

Beginning in July, barriers will be placed on Hampden Avenue closing down a lane in each direction through August. Motorists should allow for extra time in their schedules for possible delays.
