Aurora Corridor N 165th to N 185th, week of July 11

Paving Tuesday, Wednesday nights; single northbound lane closure on Aurora

This Tuesday and Wednesday nights, crews will lay the base layers of asphalt in the construction work zone along the east side of Aurora between N 175th and N 185th Streets. Asphalt requires time to cool, so conducting this work at night will help maintain access to businesses and side streets, including N 182nd and N 184th Streets, during the day.

A single northbound lane on Aurora will be closed at night to provide enough room to safely complete this base paving. The work zone will not be open to general traffic or pedestrians. Work is expected to begin around 8:00 p.m. and continue until approximately 6:00 a.m.

Joint utility trench (JUT) installation along N 175th

Crews will continue installing the JUT along N 175th Street east of Aurora. A single westbound lane of N 175th Street will be closed during the day between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to provide enough room to complete this work. JUT installation at this location is expected to take another week or two to complete.

Completing majority of concrete work N 165th to N 175th

Crews are completing concrete driveway entrances, sidewalks and bus pads between N 165th and N 175th Streets this week. Asphalt paving behind driveway entrances will occur at night on Thursday. This work is occurring at night to minimize impacts to businesses, as access may be limited. Flaggers will help direct traffic in and out of businesses.

Traffic shift between N 165th and N 175th – week of July 19

To provide enough room on the west side of Aurora to begin construction, traffic on Aurora needs to be shifted to the east. This will be very similar to how the temporary traffic lanes were established at the beginning of the project.

Crews are planning to begin temporary lane striping on Aurora between 165th and N 175th Streets at night on Monday, July 19. Some daytime prep work will occur on Tuesday, July 20, including asphalt grinding. Flaggers will help direct traffic in and out of businesses during this work.

Construction on west side of Aurora N 165th to N 175th

After traffic is shifted east, crews will set up a work zone to begin roadway excavation on the west side of Aurora. Construction on the west side of Aurora will look very similar to construction on the east side, including such improvements as underground utilities and new sidewalks and driveways. Stay tuned for more information.

Vault installation at N 185th

Vault installation will continue on the corner of N 185th Street and Aurora. Traffic lanes will be reduced to one westbound lane on N 185th Street to provide enough room for this work. After the vault is installed, crews will begin digging the JUT along the south side of N 185th Street, east of Aurora.

Light pole installation

Light pole installation between N 175th and N 185th Streets will occur this week.
