About
This project was located on South Cheyenne Canyon Road near the entrance to Seven Falls in southwest Colorado Springs. It replaced an outdated, load-restricted bridge under South Cheyenne Canyon Road and improved the Chamberlain Trail with a new pedestrian bridge over South Cheyenne Creek.
The creek passes under South Cheyenne Canyon Road, originally through an existing corrugated metal and concrete arch built in 1957. The existing structure had deteriorated and become load-restricted, necessitating the need to replace the bridge.
The new structure was constructed about 75 feet downstream from the existing culvert bridge. The new bridge looks similar to bridges previously constructed in North Cheyenne Canyon Park. As part of this project, the Colorado Springs PRCS Department installed a trail bridge to allow Chamberlain Trail users cross the creek away from vehicles.
This project is a PPRTA Capital A list project approved by voters in 2012.
