W. 20th Avenue – Vance to Teller streets

Project Description
The traffic signal at the intersection of W. 20^th Ave. and Teller St. will be replaced and new sidewalk and ADA compliant curb ramps will be added on the south side of W. 20^th Ave. from west of Vance St. to east of Teller St. to connect the sidewalk gap in this area. Storm sewer pipes will also be added to help mitigate drainage issues in the area.

January 2026 Update

Recently Completed Work
Sidewalk, curb and gutter have been installed on the south side of 20^th Ave. east of Teller St.

Current Work
Construction of the storm sewer pipe is ongoing and will extend through January. Current storm sewer construction is north of W. 20^th Ave., between Vance St. and Upham St. and will extend towards W. 20^th Ave. in the coming weeks. Utility companies will also be relocating their overhead fiber optic lines at the W. 20^th Ave. and Teller St. intersection.

Upcoming Work
Work will begin in the coming weeks to construct the foundations for the proposed traffic signals at the intersection of W. 20^th Ave. and Teller St. Overhead utility relocations will continue after the foundations are complete and will extend through January.

Traffic Impacts
Traffic control will include intermittent lane closures at the intersection of W. 20^th Ave. and Teller St. to facilitate the traffic signal foundation construction and utility relocations. Beginning in early to mid-February, storm sewer construction will begin along West 20^th Ave. and additional traffic control will be installed to provide a safe working area for the contractor. Two lanes of traffic will remain open during this phase of construction.

Target Project Completion
Major construction activities on the roadway are expected to be completed in early Winter 2026. Final site restorations and landscaping will then occur in the Spring of 2026. Significant lane closures should be completed by this time, but periodic lane closures may occur to allow the contractor to access elements along the roadway.
