University and Josephine Reconstruction

Huitt-Zollars prepared construction contract documents for the reconstruction of University and Josephine between Cherry Creek North Drive and 6th Ave. This Better Denver Bond Project included replacement of the deteriorated pavement with new concrete pavement (expected life span of 30 years), construction of new ADA compliant pedestrian facilities; and new traffic signals at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Avenues. The project was constructed in conjunction with storm drainage improvements designed to reduce the frequency and impacts from localized flooding in the Cherry Creek area. Because of high volume traffic in the area (vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle), a prime goal for the project was to minimize disruption to the general public from the construction work. Maintenance of traffic plans were prepared to account for the storm sewer and roadway improvements.
