Greeley downtown infrastructure: what the project includes
Plans include more than a mile of stormwater pipe, 1.3 miles of box culverts and over two miles of water, sewer and non-potable mains. Work is planned across nearly 20 blocks, in phases through 2028.
As of Aug. 4, 2026, crews were installing a waterline and sanitary sewer along 7th Avenue between 9th and 10th streets for Greeley’s downtown infrastructure project.
Here’s how long construction is expected to continue, what the project includes, how much of downtown it covers and what benefits the city expects.
How long is downtown Greeley’s infrastructure construction expected to continue?
Construction began in summer 2026 and is planned to proceed in phases through 2028.
What infrastructure and street improvements are included in the project?
Greeley’s Downtown Infrastructure Improvements Project is planned to replace and improve older underground water, sewer and stormwater systems. It also includes planned improvements to roads, sidewalks and streetscapes.
The project includes plans to install more than one mile of stormwater pipe, 1.3 miles of stormwater box culverts and more than two miles of water, sewer and non-potable mains.
How much of downtown is included in the project?
The project is planned across nearly 20 blocks of downtown Greeley. Its first phase is along 7th Avenue between 9th and 10th streets.
What benefits does the city expect the work to bring?
The city says the project is intended to increase system reliability, reduce flood risk, improve public safety and better prepare downtown for major storm events and future improvements.
The city says much of the infrastructure beneath downtown is more than 100 years old, was built for a different Greeley and no longer meets today’s needs.
