Reconstruction of the brick paver intersection at E. 72nd Place and Monaco Street, known as the “Derby Diamond,” is anticipated to begin in late February and is expected to continue through June. The project is a long-term investment in the Derby Downtown district, replacing the aging brick surface with durable, low-maintenance colored concrete designed to better withstand traffic and reduce future upkeep. Improvements also include enhanced pedestrian gathering areas and new water quality features at each corner to support stormwater management.
During construction, motorists, pedestrians, and nearby businesses can expect modified access routes and a temporary closure at the intersection of E. 72nd Place and Monaco Street. The city intends to maintain access to surrounding businesses throughout the project.
While short-term disruptions are anticipated, the improvements are intended to create a stronger, more resilient intersection that enhances both function and appearance for years to come. More information is available at c3gov.com/Derby
