Madison Avenue Construction Update – August Recap

Throughout August, construction for the Madison Avenue Corridor Improvement Project moved forward with several key milestones.

• During the week of August 4–8, crews poured the curb and gutter concrete along the outer edges of the roundabout and installed the median islands. A section of Madison Avenue was removed to begin lowering 350 feet of waterline in preparation for future work.
• The following week, August 11–15, work continued with additional curb and gutter concrete pours inside the roundabout. Crews lowered the waterline at Hem Fir Place, while grading progressed for new sidewalk sections along the northeast corner. Preparations began to place median cover material, and sidewalk concrete was poured around the roundabout.
• From August 18–25, the waterline lowering advanced north of Hem Fir Place. Grading and sidewalk construction remained a focus, with crews continuing to pour new sidewalk concrete around the roundabout.
• Finally, during the week of August 25–29, the concrete pavement around the roundabout was completed and asphalt paving began at the roundabout entrances, marking an important step toward the project’s completion.

37th Street roundabout open for traffic

The project team is pleased to announce that the 37th Street roundabout is officially opened to drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Madison Avenue, however, remains fully closed between 29th Street and 37th Street and will continue to be under full closure until the project is completed at the end of the year. During this time, crews will continue with utility upgrades, road and sidewalk connectivity improvements. With the roundabout now open, traffic may travel along 37th Street from either Boise or Monroe Avenues, and Seeley Drive is also accessible to the nearing neighborhood.

A sculpture of a dandelion will be installed in October at the center of the roundabout by Art in Public Places and the remaining landscape near the roundabout will be installed in spring 2026. The sculptor is fully funded by Art in Public Places.

Before construction started at the Madison Avenue and 37th Street intersection in July 2025.

During construction for the roundabout in August 2025.

Construction completed for the roundabout in September 2025.

Safety during construction

As construction continues along Madison Avenue, the road remains an active construction zone. While the site roundabout is partially finished, the project team urges pedestrians, cyclists and commuters to remain vigilant of posted signage and not to enter the active worksite if they are not an adjacent property owner.

Traffic and Detours:

Madison Avenue remains closed between 29th and 37th Streets. Local access to Madison Avenue is only available for those who live or own property along Madison Avenue between 29th and 37th Streets. Commuters outside the construction limits should follow the designated detour routes by using the following streets:

• North Boise Avenue
• Monroe Avenue
• 29th Street
• 37th Street

About  

The Madison Avenue Corridor Improvement Project aims to improve safety, mobility, and infrastructure along a vital north-south route between 29th and 37th Streets. As one of the city’s most traveled corridors, Madison Avenue connects neighborhoods, schools, parks, and major arterials, including US 287. This project will modernize the corridor by adding buffered bike lanes, new sidewalks, and a new roundabout at 37th Street—all designed to support safer travel for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. In addition to improving traffic flow, the project will add a feature of public art by Art in Public Places. Construction is expected to be completed by December 2025.

Project Funding

The Madison Avenue Corridor Improvement Project is funded through a combination of the City of Loveland’s General Fund and Capital Expansion Fees (CEFs). From 2019 to 2024, approximately 20% of the project funding came from the General Fund, while the remaining 80% was provided through CEFs. Appropriations for the project began in 2019, with design services completed in 2021. The construction contract was awarded in May 2025, following a competitive bidding process.
