Phase 3 of the Garfield-Harrison project begins August 12

LOVELAND, Colo. – August 8, 2024 – The City of Loveland’s Stormwater Engineering division will begin Phase 3 of the Garfield-Harrison Storm Drainage project on Monday, August 12. Phase 3 will begin along Roosevelt Avenue north of W. 5th Street to W. 9th Street and then move west to 7th Street. Phase 3 is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025.

The project will entail:

• Milling operations on Roosevelt Avenue between 5th and 7th streets. This is to prepare the location for excavation to install the new storm sewer pipe. Street milling is used in road construction and maintenance to remove the top layer of an existing pavement surface. The project will include five work zones for Phase 3 beginning August 12, 2024, through fall 2025:
  • Zone 1 - Roosevelt Avenue between 5th Street and 7th Street, estimated to be completed by early 2025.
  • Zone 2 - 8th Street to Harrison Avenue, estimated to be completed by early spring 2025.
  • Zone 3 - 7th Street between Franklin Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, estimated to be completed by early summer 2025.
  • Zone 4 - Colorado Avenue between 7th Street and 8th Street and Franklin Avenue between 7th Street and 8th Street, is estimated to be completed by late summer 2025.
  • Zone 5 - 8th Street between Duffield Avenue and Colorado Avenue, estimated to be completed by fall 2025.

A large diameter storm sewer pipe will be installed on N. Roosevelt Avenue to W. 9th Street and then a smaller diameter lateral west on W. 7^th Street to Colorado Avenue. Additionally, the project will include adding a new waterline on N. Roosevelt Avenue between W. 5th Street to W. 8th Street. Under the five work zones, there will be road closures in blocked segments to install the new water and stormwater pipelines. The road closures will follow the timeline of the work zones.

Upcoming Traffic Impacts

The Stormwater Engineering division’s contractor, Connell Resources, will begin the first road closure at W. 5^th Street and continue to W. 7^th Street. During construction, local access will always be maintained, as well as local deliveries and services. During this project, residents will experience construction noise and disruptions near their homes. Traffic control personnel will be onsite to direct residents while this work is performed. Typical working hours will be Monday through Friday from approximately 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Night and weekend work will be occasional and announced in advance.
