Kiewit crews will begin construction activities on Iliff Avenue at the S. Abilene Street intersection the week of July 8,
2013. Work will require lane restrictions with at least one lane in each direction remaining open. The first work
activities will involve the installation of a storm sewer line across Iliff Avenue. Once this work is complete, crews will
be beginning construction of the center pier for the light rail train bridge over Iliff Avenue. Storm Sewer installation will
occur in three phases and will begin at the northeast corner of the intersection.
• Phase One - three right lanes (including turn lane) on westbound Iliff Avenue closed
• Phase Two - two left lanes of eastbound and two left lanes of westbound Iliff Avenue closed
• Phase Three - three right lanes (including turn lane) on eastbound Iliff Avenue closed
Lane restrictions for bridge construction will change with the work activity; look for signage to direct you.
Although Iliff Avenue will remain open and access to local business will be maintained, through traffic is encouraged
to use Yale or Mississippi Avenues for travel east and west in the area. Motorists wanting to access Abilene Street
between Iliff and Mississippi Avenues should use S. Blackhawk Street to E. Evans Avenue to S. Abilene Street.
