Since 2016, construction crews have been hard at work to replace both auto and pedestrian bridges as a part of the Grand Avenue Bridge project in Colorado. The $125.6 million job is the largest project western Colorado has seen in over 25 years.

A progress report, released Aug. 31, provided updates on recent construction activity:

• Workers will place nine steel tub girders over the Colorado River and the Union Pacific Railroad between Aug. 31 and Sept. 10.
• Crews have already poured concrete for the south abutment to connect the Grand Avenue Bridge with Co-82.
• The center pier was removed from the Colorado River.
• Crews have also poured a concrete walkway on the east wing street.

The auto bridge is expected to be finished July 1, 2018.
