Fox Street
Natural Gas Project
Denver, CO
Spring 2026 – Summer 2026
Overview
Xcel Energy will construct a new natural gas regulator station east of the intersection of West 31st Avenue and Fox Street in Denver, Colorado, for the Fox Street Natural Gas Project. The new natural gas regulator station will replace the existing regulator station near the intersection of West 29th Avenue and Galapago Street to increase system capacity.
This work allows us to continue to provide safe, reliable natural gas service and enhance system resiliency during extreme weather.

Construction updates
Construction on the Fox Street Natural Gas Project is expected to begin as early as spring 2026. Check back for updates as the start of construction approaches.
How it affects you
We will implement full road closures. Local access will be maintained. Through traffic should follow posted detours.
During construction, you may notice:
- Marking of utility lines and utility survey holes
- Road and sidewalk closures
- Traffic control
- Temporary changes to access
- Construction noise
Installation will utilize open trenching which involves digging a trench and placing the natural gas line in the trench.
We are committed to maintaining a safe working environment in your community. For your safety and the safety of our crews, remember these tips:
- Watch for construction crews and equipment
- Do not enter construction areas
- Obey signage and directions from crews
- Reduce speeds while traveling
- Observe parking restrictions
- Remain flexible as work progresses and work areas change
We’ll restore work areas to conditions required by permits as weather allows. Work areas may be left temporarily restored after construction until we can complete final restoration.
Schedule
Construction is expected to begin as early as April 2026 and will continue through Summer 2026.
Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. In certain circumstances, we may be required to work evenings or weekends.
Schedules are subject to change.
