Construction Projects
Trust, accountability, and transparency.
With more than 40 infrastructure projects either completed, in progress or scheduled to break ground in 2019-2020, the City of Evans has launched "The Road Ahead" infrastructure campaign to help residents track and understand the major improvement efforts throughout the City of Evans.
The campaign is easily recognized by its maize and blue logo and will serve as an indicator of progress throughout the city. When a project is complete, a check will be placed on the logo.
37th STREET EXPANSION PROJECT PHASE 2A
Beginning on April 29, 2024, Evans will start construction on the next phase of the 37th Street widening project. The construction will extend from Sienna Avenue on the west to Stampede Drive on the east and transitioning back to the existing roadway east of Stampede Drive. Atmos Energy will also be working in the project area, relocating some existing gas lines to accommodate the road widening at the start of the project, this will result in full closure of the road while this work is on-going. The detour route will send drivers to US 34 on the north or 49th Street on the south. Our plan is to open the road after Atmos Energy completes their work.
Construction is expected to last through September so we ask your patience when driving in the cone zone. The plan is to keep the road open to two-way traffic for as much of the project duration as possible. Please use alternate routes when possible.
EVANS STREET LIGHT INSTALLATION PROJECT
This project is intended light up areas of Evans that do not have adequate street lighting using funds from a grant that Evans has received from Colorado Department of Public Safety Division of Criminal Justice. The grant funds will be used to design, procure and install streetlights in vicinity of Highway 85 in areas with limited street lighting to improve safety in these neighborhoods. To provide complete design, installation, and purchasing of materials to install 58 Evans style local ornamental streetlights within (3) Three identified zones of service and one add alternate zone of service (4) with an additional 10 Evans style local ornamental streetlights for a possible total of 68 streetlights. Each lighting zone would be individually metered and would become the sole property of the City of Evans Lighting District. The city would also like a fourth zone to be designed that would continue along the frontage roads along the west side of US 85 to the city limits ending at the South Platte River. See attached Vicinity Maps. Installation of the streetlights in Zone 4 will be dependent if there are sufficient funds to complete Add Alternate # 1 in its entirety.
