Indiana Street construction kicks off June 2; partial road closure will be in place
Indiana Street will be closed from West Torreys Peak Drive through Mount Sopris Way beginning Tuesday, June 2, as phase one of the Indiana Street reconstruction project begins.
The project includes full reconstruction of the roadway, curb and gutter improvements, upgraded sidewalks, and enhanced bike and pedestrian facilities.
The phase one closure is expected to last until July 3.
During this closure, please be aware that:
- The Wildflower Park entrance off Indiana Street and the northern-most entrance to Eldorado PK-8 School will be closed.
- The southern-most entrance will remain open.
The second phase of the Indiana Street reconstruction project will begin on July 6, closing Indiana Street south of Mount Sopris Way to McCaslin Boulevard.
Construction will conclude before the start of the 2026/27 school year, so school traffic will not be affected. During this project, temporary road closures and detour routes will continue to be set up as needed, along with periodic sidewalk closures.
Find more information and stay up-to-date on this project by visiting the Town Projects webpage.

Trailer and RV parking limits in place in Superior
Warmer weather means more trailers and recreational vehicles (RVs) on Superior's streets, which can obstruct visibility, especially at night. This increases the risk of accidents involving pedestrians, joggers, or pets crossing the road.
To ensure everyone's safety, it's important to remember that Town Municipal Code section 8-1-60 limits parking for trailers and RVs to a maximum of 48 hours on public streets.
Questions? Contact Code Enforcement Officer Jammi Hedquist at jammih@superiorcolorado.gov or 720-738-8932.

HSIP grant allows Town to address pedestrian and bicycle safety along 88th Street
With the help of a federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant, the Town is pursuing permanent pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements along 88th Street from Promenade Drive to Campus Drive.
Although the grant allocates the funds for 2029, the Town is working with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to advance the project to 2027.
The project will be collaborative, working with the City of Louisville to widen the sidewalk north of U.S. 36 to Campus Drive and with CDOT on the bridge over U.S. 36.
Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

Original Town alley and roadway stabilization project begins June 1
Construction crews will begin the alley and roadway stabilization project in Original Town on June 1, resulting in temporary alley and road closures.
The project will stabilize all unpaved roads in Original Town, including the alleys, 5th Avenue, and portions of West Charles and West William streets.
Alleys will be closed for one or two days during grading and treatment work. Affected residents will be notified by the contractor prior to alley closures.
The work includes leveling and compacting the existing surfaces, placing 3 inches of new millings, applying a stabilization treatment and then compacting the new millings with a wet roller. This work results in a hardened asphalt-like surface.
Following treatment, in late July or early August, the Town will apply a chip seal to the surface, a treatment generally applied to roads to improve longevity. Once complete, the roads will have a hard surface that eliminates dust and can be plowed, with a useful life of five to seven years.
Weather permitting, the project is expected to conclude by early July.
Visit the Town Projects webpage to stay informed.
