Phase 2 of the Big Dry Creek Streambank Restoration Project between Wadsworth Boulevard and Westcliff Parkway will begin as soon as November 26. Phase 2 work will be conducted closer to Westcliff Parkway. You can expect to see construction crews working on this segment of the project through spring.
Construction on the City Park segment of the project is anticipated to start early 2024.
The City of Westminster is teaming up with the Mile High Flood District to improve Big Dry Creek’s water quality and flood management capabilities, and make it more resilient to intense storm runoff events. Together, we are repairing and stabilizing streambanks from 112th Avenue to Wadsworth Boulevard. This project will address Big Dry Creek’s stream instability, flood management, and maintenance needs. Years of urban runoff has led to steep, unsafe streambanks. This degradation is also approaching sewer pipes and trails, which need to be protected from further damage. Mitigating these risks will allow our community to continue safely enjoying activities along the Big Dry Creek for years to come.
This project will address multiple project areas along the Big Dry Creek and the timeline for each area is below.
