I-270 Natural Gas Project
Overview
Xcel Energy is relocating a 24-inch diameter natural gas line in Commerce City, Colorado, as part of the I-270 Natural Gas Project.
In partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation’s I-270 Critical Bridges construction project, Xcel Energy will require a full closure of 60th Avenue between Brighton Boulevard and approximately 1,800 feet east of Brighton Boulevard.
This work will allow us to continue to provide safe, reliable natural gas service throughout the community.

Safety
The safety of the public around our natural gas system influences every decision we make. We take a proactive approach to public safety by implementing safety measures before, during and after construction.
This project has been designed to meet federal and state standards and safety requirements for installing, maintaining and operating natural gas infrastructure.
If you ever suspect a natural gas leak, leave your home or business immediately. Once you are safely away, call 911, then Xcel Energy at 800-895-2999.
