What’s Happening In Your Neighborhood?
Xcel Energy will replace approximately 2.3 miles of natural gas lines in Broomfield, Colorado, as the first phase of the Westlake Natural Gas Project. Work will occur in the neighborhood southwest of the intersection of West 136th Avenue and Zuni Street.
This work will allow us to continue to provide safe, reliable natural gas service throughout the community.
Schedule
Construction is anticipated to begin in June 2026 and will continue through summer 2027.
Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 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:
- Marking of utility lines and utility survey holes
- Road and sidewalk closures
- Traffic control
- Parking restrictions
- Temporary changes to access
- Construction noise
We install natural gas line by open trenching and boring.
- Boring uses a specialized machine to create an underground pathway through which the natural gas line is pulled or drilled
- Open trenching involves digging a trench and placing the natural gas line in the trench
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.
