Project Update
The City of Glenwood Springs Public Works, Engineering Department, and Gould Construction are making good progress on water infrastructure, broadband and road improvements as part of Phase 1 of the Red Mountain South Project. Crews have completed deconstruction on Riverview Drive and lowered the platform to final subgrade, installed three storm drain manholes and piping at 10th Street and completed the new waterline connection at 10th Street and installation of 80 feet of pipe.
“This week you may have seen the 12-foot-deep hole on 10th Street off Midland Avenue. This is where we have been able to install new water pipe and storm sewer. Before this work, there was no storm sewer in the area and the street would be inundated with water and debris during rain events. This already marks big improvements with more to come over the coming months,” shared Public Works Director Matt Langhorst.
Improvements made as part of this project are in support of the City of Glenwood Springs’s ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure, generate sustainable economic development, and ensure public safety as identified by the 2020-2025 Strategic Vision. Phase 1 of the Red Mountain South Project is expected to be complete in October. Additional information is available on the project webpage at www.cogs.us/RedMountainSouth.
