Improvements to West 72nd Avenue paid for by a 2018 bond measure could be completed over two years behind schedule, according to Arvada Civil Engineer David Bernard. A “slog” in the process of working with Union Pacific to build an underpass at the railroad crossing holds up the final phase of construction, Bernard said. At the March 25 Arvada City Council meeting, Bernard provided an update on the 72nd Avenue Bond Project, while the first two phases of construction — utilities infrastructure and road widening work from Swadley Court to Oak Street, respectively — are mostly complete, the final phase of construction is held up.
