US 24

Crews continue work on the new US 24 Bridge over Fountain Creek, which will be relocated to the south. The existing bridge will eventually be removed and traffic will shift to allow for the realignment. The new bridge will be constructed with pre-stressed box girders and a cast-in-place concrete deck. The bridge will have integral abutments with cast-in-place concrete wing walls. This structure has been commonly used by CDOT and has proven to be low maintenance, with a long service life. The height of the bridge will provide 12 feet of vertical clearance to the trail below.
