Speer Tunnel Improvements

Project Overview

Benchmark delivered a full electrical system and lighting upgrade for the Speer Boulevard Tunnel in Denver, replacing aging infrastructure with a modern, energy-efficient solution designed for long-term reliability. Working within an active, high-traffic corridor, our crews executed the installation of new conduit, wiring, distribution equipment, and upgraded tunnel lighting with a strong focus on safety and minimal disruption to commuters. The result is a significantly improved traffic tunnel for both motorists and pedestrians, with enhanced visibility, and a code-compliant electrical system that supports the City of Denver’s commitment to safer, more reliable infrastructure.
