DUS Construction Update

The following construction update was provided by DUSPA:

Regional Bus Facility
Crews are continuing to work on waterproofing the roof of the underground bus facility. As sections of this work are complete, the backfill is placed. This process will be ongoing for another month.

Flashing and glazing on the skylights for the underground bus facility will be starting. The skylights provide natural light inside the facility. Also going on inside the bus facility is installation of electrical/mechanical rough-ins.

Crews are also working on the access into the bus facility from the Chestnut Pavilion, stairs and escalator trusses.



Light Rail Platform
The traction power sub-station (TPSS) that was under the Millennium Bridge hasbeen moved so now crews can continue work on the LRT to connect with the current tracks. They will be building retaining walls, duct bank and overhead catenary system (OCS) foundations.



Streets and Utilities
Our work at Wynkoop St. was completed in April. Other utility companies haveadditional work to perform and will be coming back through to repave Wynkoop St. in the next month.

Over the next month, Xcel Steam (not part of the DUS project) will be continuing the steam line installation work on 16th Street and coming through the intersection with Wynkoop. This work may require closures of the intersection.

There are other utility projects in the neighborhood, so please use caution when driving or walking in this area as there may be lane, parking and sidewalk restrictions.

Crews are pouring curb and gutter and paving on Chestnut Place and 16th St. from the Millennium Bridge towards Wewatta St. in preparation for the opening of LRT and the 16th St Mall Shuttle loop in its permanent location and the opening of Chestnut Place.



Behind Denver Union Station
Demolition of the old pedestrian tunnel and other old structures continues in preparation for the excavation for the next phase of the underground bus facility which will begin upon completion. Crews will begin the de-watering process in early June.
