Current Phase: Construction
Construction Percent Complete: 30%
Anticipated Completion Date: Late 2025/Early 2026

Project Description: Constructed by the Colorado Department of Highways in 1963, the Circle Drive Bridges carry eastbound and westbound lanes of Circle Drive on separate structures. The western pair of bridges cross Fountain Creek. The eastern pair of bridges cross the BNSF Railroad, a Fountain Mutual Irrigation Company conveyance facility, the Hancock Expressway, and East Las Vegas Street. This project will replace the deteriorating structures with four new bridges. The new bridges will have wider cross sections to allow for better pedestrian movement.
