The Madison Avenue project is a critical corridor that connects to several major thoroughfares within the City of Loveland like Highway 287, E 29th Street, E 37th Street and Monroe Avenue. As one of Loveland’s major connectors, it’s an essential road to the City’s overall transportation system’s wellbeing. As the City assesses and improves multi-modal transportation, Madison Avenue is among the top roads that seeks to improve pedestrian and bicycle enhancements.

As part of Connect Loveland, the City’s Transportation Master Plan that was approved in October 2023, the current conditions of Madison Avenue range from a standard four-lane section to a two-lane rural section, which lacks essential amenities like bike lanes and sidewalks. The improvements include:

  • Buffered bike lanes on Madison Avenue from 29th Street to the newly constructed roundabout.
  • Construction of sidewalks to the east side of the road between Seven Lakes Drive to 37th Street.
  • Addition of two way left hand turn lane along Madison Avenue and left turn lane to Seven Lakes Drive.
  • A new roundabout at Madison Avenue and 37th Street with crosswalks and buffered bike lanes.
  • Additional art piece of a dandelion to Loveland’s 500+ sculptures by Loveland artist Karen Cusolito. Approved by Art in Public Places, as well as funded by the organization.

To limit public disturbances and costs, the Public Works and Utilities Departments will complete the roadway and utility improvements at the same time to lessen disruptions. The project addresses bicycle and pedestrian improvements, relocation of utilities and improvements to overhead powerlines within the corridor that have reached their lifespan.

Project Vision

To transform Madison Avenue into a safe, efficient, and multimodal corridor that enhances connectivity, improves accessibility, and supports Loveland’s long-term multimodal transportation goals. This project will upgrade infrastructure, add bike lanes and sidewalks, improve utilities, and enhance traffic flow—creating a more sustainable and inclusive transportation network for all.

Project Impacts

By early July, the City of Loveland aims to begin construction, starting with underground water and stormwater utility improvements. Once infrastructure improvements are complete, the City of Loveland will focus on surface improvements determined by the streetscape design. Between utility and streetscape improvements, the project is anticipated to take six to eight months to construct.

The intersection of Madison and 37th will be closed while the roundabout is constructed at the intersection. To facilitate detour efficiency, the intersection of 33rd and Monroe Avenue has been converted into a two-way stop from a four-way stop to accommodate the detour traffic.

Project Goals

  • Offer improved safety and transportation options for people whether they are driving, walking, or biking.
  • Focus on modes of travel – making improvements to travel lanes, bike lanes and sidewalks along the corridor.
  • Upgrades to improve safety at the intersections and along the corridor
  • Improved connectivity to US Highway 287 and beyond to Taft Avenue.
  • Effective use of City funds – combine and coordinate roadway and utility improvements and relocations to lessen public disruption.

Project Funding

  • 2019-2024 General Fund = 20%
  • 2019-2024 Capital Expansion Fees (CEF) = 80%
    • Appropriations of funds for the project began in 2019.
    • Design services for the project were completed in 2021.
    • Contracted for the project awarded in April 2021.
    • Contractor awarded for the project in May 2025.

    The City of Loveland has completed the Madison Avenue Corridor Improvement Project, a multi-phase reconstruction effort that modernized aging infrastructure and improved mobility along Madison Avenue. Crews wrapped up the majority of work on Thursday, April 30.

    The following was completed:

    • The construction of a new roundabout intersection at 37th Street and Madison Avenue.
    • Widened Madison Avenue to add buffered bike lanes and a center left turn lane.
    • Installed infrastructure improvements to water, stormwater, electric and telecommunications.
    • Addressed remaining concrete sidewalks and driveways at select areas along Madison Avenue.
    • Applied the final layer of asphalt to the road.
    • Applied final striping and signage along Madison Avenue from 29th Street to 37th Street.
    • Partnered with Art in Public Places to install a sculpture by artist Karen Cusolito.

    Work around the roundabout

    While most of the work along Madison Avenue is completed, a few final items remain. The art sculpture of a dandelion is expected to be powered up later this week following installation of an electric meter, and additional landscaping will be completed after that work is finished. In addition, once the Larimer County Monroe Avenue Bridge Project is complete, crews will return to make concrete repairs within the roundabout. This work will require a temporary closure of the roundabout for approximately three to five days. The City will notify the area again before that closure begins.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Madison Avenue between 29th and 37th Streets reopens to traffic

    LOVELAND, Colo. – Dec. 23, 2025 – A major milestone has arrived for the Madison Avenue Corridor Improvement Project. Following six months of construction, Madison Avenue between 29th and 37th streets will reopen this afternoon, restoring access before the holidays. While some work will continue in spring 2026 as weather allows, the corridor is ready to get the community moving again.

    The City of Loveland completed the following project milestones:

    • The addition of a roundabout and a full reconstruction of the 37th Street and Madison Avenue intersection.

    • Widening Madison Avenue to add buffered bike lanes and a center left turn lane.

    • Upgrades to water, stormwater, electric and telecommunications.

    The scale of construction was significant, requiring enough cement to cover the equivalent of five football fields, more than 7,400 tons of asphalt, and over 9,100 feet of new curb and gutter to complete the corridor improvements to date.

    Due to upcoming winter weather disruptions and the holiday period, when motorist activity typically increases, the remaining work will be completed once temperatures are consistent and asphalt and concrete have adequate time to cure. To finish this work, Madison Avenue will be temporarily closed in spring 2026. Announcements will be shared with the public before the closure. While the roadway might look complete, temporary signage will be placed in the areas where work is still needed. Commuters should be advised to use caution while they are navigating the area.

    In spring 2026, the road will temporarily shut down for approximately two weeks to finish the following:

    • Remaining concrete sidewalk at select areas along Madison Avenue

    • Colored concrete at Seven Lakes Drive

    • Remaining residential driveways

    • Top lift of asphalt

    • Final striping

    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 spring 2026.

    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.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Madison Avenue between 29th and 37th Streets reopens to traffic

    LOVELAND, Colo. – Dec. 23, 2025 – A major milestone has arrived for the Madison Avenue Corridor Improvement Project. Following six months of construction, Madison Avenue between 29th and 37th streets will reopen this afternoon, restoring access before the holidays. While some work will continue in spring 2026 as weather allows, the corridor is ready to get the community moving again.

    The City of Loveland completed the following project milestones:

    • The addition of a roundabout and a full reconstruction of the 37th Street and Madison Avenue intersection.

    • Widening Madison Avenue to add buffered bike lanes and a center left turn lane.

    • Upgrades to water, stormwater, electric and telecommunications.

    The scale of construction was significant, requiring enough cement to cover the equivalent of five football fields, more than 7,400 tons of asphalt, and over 9,100 feet of new curb and gutter to complete the corridor improvements to date.

    Due to upcoming winter weather disruptions and the holiday period, when motorist activity typically increases, the remaining work will be completed once temperatures are consistent and asphalt and concrete have adequate time to cure. To finish this work, Madison Avenue will be temporarily closed in spring 2026. Announcements will be shared with the public before the closure. While the roadway might look complete, temporary signage will be placed in the areas where work is still needed. Commuters should be advised to use caution while they are navigating the area.

    In spring 2026, the road will temporarily shut down for approximately two weeks to finish the following:

    • Remaining concrete sidewalk at select areas along Madison Avenue

    • Colored concrete at Seven Lakes Drive

    • Remaining residential driveways

    • Top lift of asphalt

    • Final striping

    • Seeding and landscaping

    • Art installation at the center of the roundabout
