What’s Happening In Your Neighborhood?
Xcel Energy will replace approximately one-half mile of natural gas line in Denver for the East Denver Natural Gas Project. Work will occur along Clarkson Street between 14th and 18th avenues.
This work will allow us to continue to provide safe, reliable natural gas service throughout the community.
Schedule
Construction began in June 2026 and will continue through winter 2026.
Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. In certain circumstances, we may be required to work evenings or weekends.
Schedules are subject to change.
Construction Impacts
During work, you may notice:
- Traffic control
- Parking restrictions
- Marking of utility lines and utility survey holes
- Road and sidewalk closures
- Temporary changes to access
- Construction noise
We install natural gas line by open trenching and boring.
- Open trenching involves digging a trench and placing the natural gas line in the trench
- Boring uses a specialized machine to create an underground pathway through which the natural gas line is pulled or drilled
Please alert traffic control if you need to access a location within a road, sidewalk or alley closure during construction.
We restore work areas to preconstruction conditions as weather allows. Work areas may be left temporarily restored after construction until we can complete final restoration.
