Project Purpose

The Broadway (Pine-Iris) Reconstruction Project will reconstruct Broadway from Pine Street to Iris Avenue. The existing pavement is deteriorating and very badly rutted and there is a significant roadway cross slope problem (up to eight percent and the standard is 1.5-2 percent). This project implements the goals of the TMP which strive for maintaining a multi-modal system in a safe and well-maintained condition. The funding for this $9.8 million construction project is a combination of city, state and federal transportation dollars. The Broadway (Pine-Iris) Reconstruction Project will result in a major city street in good maintenance condition for the next 30 years and create a continuation of street and aesthetic improvements on Broadway that began in the late 1990s with the southern section of Broadway in the university area and in 2003 with the downtown area.

See the Corridor Improvement Plans

The major improvements include:

• Reconstruct the street into concrete.
• Reconstruct public and private utilities, including major storm sewer improvements.
• Reconstruct deteriorated sidewalk and make other sidewalk improvements where budget and space allows.
• Minor urban design, transit stop enhancements and landscaping where budget allows.

Timeline/ Construction Closures:
Construction will be done in "segments." Here are the tentative segment schedules:

Segment A: FINISHED!
From Pine to North streets- from March to August 2009 - See the before and after pictures.

Segment B
From North Street to Balsam Avenue -from July to November 2009.

Segment C & D
From Balsam Avenue to the North Boulder Recreation Center(NBRC), and NBRC to Iris Avenue. The last two segments will take from November to Summer 2010.

Expected construction duration total of 15 to 18 months.
