Project Description: Replace an aging bridge structure crossing over a tributary to Fountain Creek commonly known as the Columbia Road Tributary. Recent bridge inspections have determined the structure to be “functionally obsolete” and qualify the bridge for replacement. The bridge is located on El Paso Blvd, approximately 800’ north of W Colorado Ave and 200’ west of S Columbia Road. The structure is approximately 500’ east of the Manitou Springs city limit.
