Glenarm Place and 16th Street Intersection Work

Preparation for water and storm sewer work has begun in the intersection at Glenarm Place and the 16th Street Mall, requiring temporary fencing in the full intersection. Traffic in the area will not be affected, as this intersection is currently closed to through traffic. Crosswalks on the east, north and south sides of the intersection will remain open, but the west crosswalk will close.

The intersection will remain fenced for approximately 10 weeks. The initial work will include sawcutting and potholing then move into storm and sewer utility work.

Here’s what you can expect:

  *   Fencing enclosing the full intersection at Glenarm Place and 16th Street Mall.
  *   The west crosswalk across 16th Street will be closed, but the other three crosswalks in the intersection will be open to pedestrians.
  *   Access to parking structures and surface lots will be maintained.
