Traffic Advisory: Closure of South-bound Lanes of Toledano Street for Construction

Beginning Thursday, Jan. 16, weather permitting, the Office of Stormwater & Green Infrastructure’s contractor, Impetus Infrastructure, LLC, will close the South-bound lanes of Toledano Street to begin roadway work for the DPW547A - DPS01 Watershed (Broadmoor HMGP) Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure Project (Phase I).  A temporary lane closure will begin at 7 a.m. on Jan. 16, the South-bound 3000-3200 blocks of Toledano Street and will remain in effect for approximately one month.

 

During this roadwork, the contractor will be working from 7 a.m. until sunset, Monday through Friday.

 

The DPS 01 Watershed Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure project is a two-phased implementation approach to reduce flooding, particularly in the Broadmoor and Central City neighborhoods, and to implement green infrastructure (GI) features in the stormwater drainage system to reduce runoff and create and enhance public landscape and park amenities. This will be accomplished by upgrading the City’s stormwater drainage infrastructure with green storage, infiltration, and filtration landscape features along with pipe and street upgrades. Storage will be added throughout the system to create a cascading effect that stores and detains runoff. The project also includes water and sewer improvements that are impacted by the stormwater improvements.

 

The $39.6 M DPW547A - DPS01 Watershed (Broadmoor HMGP) Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure Project (Phase I) was designed by CDM Smith Inc. and is being constructed by Impetus Infrastructure, LLC. Click here to view the factsheet with more information about Phase 1 of this project.
