Denver metro area 10-week stormwater repair project begins: What drivers need to know
Starting Monday, drivers in part of the Denver metro area may notice some changes to their usual route as the city begins a major stormwater repair project. For the next 10 weeks, Federal Boulevard just south of Belleview Avenue in Littleton will be fully closed while crews work to replace aging infrastructure beneath the roadway. The project is part of a larger effort by the City of Littleton to modernize its stormwater system, which includes several key culvert replacements. A recent citywide survey revealed that many components of the system are nearing the end of their lifespan, and some date back to the 1970s. CBS David Gilbert with the City of Littleton says the repairs are essential to keeping Littleton's stormwater system functioning safely and efficiently. "This work is necessary to make sure we can remove stormwater and get it to where it needs to go," Gilbert explained. "We're replacing the old metal pipe with something far more durable, and we're doing it as quickly as possible." The project includes removing approximately 182 feet of deteriorating corrugated metal pipe and replacing it with 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe. Crews will also replace one concrete junction box, modify two others, and install more than 250 feet of cured-in-place pipe lining. Altogether, the project is expected to improve the longevity and reliability of the stormwater system for years to come. To complete the work, full excavation of the roadway is required, which means a complete closure of Federal Boulevard just south of Belleview Avenue. While the city does not anticipate major traffic impacts, since it's not one of Littleton's highest-traffic areas, detour routes will be clearly marked. Local access to nearby businesses like Partner Colorado Credit Union and Foushee SalonSpa will be maintained. "We know it's a hassle," Gilbert said. "But we appreciate everyone's patience. These repairs are key to keeping Littleton's infrastructure safe and strong for the future." Construction is set to begin June 23, 2025, and wrap up by late summer, depending on weather and work conditions.

Fire danger grows as heat continues across Colorado, cooler weather ahead
The first official weekend of summer is here, and it's been a hot one. Denver tied the record high of 99° on Friday and came just one degree shy of tying another record on Saturday. Sunday will bring more of the same, with high temperatures climbing into the low to mid-90s across much of the eastern plains. In the high country, highs will range from the 70s to 80s. The big change on Sunday is an increase in fire weather concerns. CBS Fire weather conditions will expand eastward to include much of the I-25 corridor. Elevated fire danger is expected, with wind gusts reaching 30 to 45 mph—a key ingredient for rapid fire growth. Relief from the heat is on the way. A cold front arrives Sunday night into Monday, bringing temperatures down into the upper 70s and low 80s to start the work week. Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms also return.
