For decades, Federal Boulevard has served as the arterial spine of Denver's western corridor, but its infrastructure is finally getting a major upgrade. The City of Denver has approved a $2,337,485.43 contract with Rodriguez Construction Org, L.L.C. to install new stamped concrete medians along a critical stretch of the boulevard.
This isn't just a cosmetic refresh; the project targets safety and traffic flow improvements between Floyd Avenue and Columbine Road. Spanning Council Districts 1 and 2, the work represents a significant investment in one of the city's most traveled commercial corridors, aiming to reduce lane-changing accidents while modernizing the streetscape.
Rodriguez Construction Org, L.L.C., a Denver-based firm co-owned by Manuel and Norma Rodriguez, brings local expertise to the job. Located at 3043 California St, the company holds a Right Of Way license and ranks in the top 27% of Colorado licensed contractors. Their scope includes constructing the new medians, which will replace or augment existing barriers to create a more defined separation for vehicles.
The approval came through a Committee Consent resolution, file number 26-0613, signaling a streamlined path forward for the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI). The project timeline is set for 270 days from the notice to proceed, meaning crews could be on site within the next year to begin reshaping the roadway.
This initiative is part of a coordinated effort by DOTI to enhance safety infrastructure across Federal Boulevard. Residents and business owners along the corridor should expect lane closures and construction activity as the project moves from the approval stage to the ground-breaking phase.
