This project included the reconstruction of Broadway–from Iowa Avenue to Arizona Avenue–in new concrete pavement, major drainage and utility upgrades, new signalization, construction of a new raised landscape median and streetscape improvements.  The project took approximately one year. Streetscape improvements to South Broadway included a landscaped median featuring trees and native plantings, sidewalk planters, benches, and decorative street lights along the tree lined blocks.

A grand reopening celebration was held on August 19th with a nonconventional ribbon cutting. Mayor John Hickenlooper, Public Works Manager Bill Vidal and Denver City Council President Chris Nevitt made remarks at the ceremony and then took the "first drive" through a banner onto the new concrete roadway. Concrete Works' Dick Brasher presented the officials with mementos of the project: actual pieces of trolley track taken from S. Broadway during the reconstruction.
