Project Description: Believed to be built in 1957, the South Cheyenne Canon Road Bridge is a multi-type structure located just north of the Seven Falls entrance. The bridge is load-posted and has reached the end of its service life, requiring replacement. The project will provide a new roadway bridge and a pedestrian/trail bridge for better flow and safety. The new roadway structure will be 150’ east of the existing structure and the pedestrian bridge will align with the Chamberlain Trail system.
