Crews will be building a bigger stormwater system to provide relief to areas that flood often in east Denver.

"They'll later dig a tunnel and extend the pipe underneath Colorado Boulevard; but first, crews need to move existing pipes and other utilities out of the way. Crews will need to close travel lanes on Colorado Boulevard on several occasions to remove these utilities and the first closure is this weekend," DOTI stated in a news release.
