COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— The City is pleased to announce completion of the bridge replacement on S. Cascade Avenue over Cheyenne Run Creek, which is the final in a series of transportation improvement projects that began in 2019 in the South Nevada Urban Renewal and Ivywild areas.
The South Cascade Avenue Bridge over Cheyenne Creek, built in 1925, had become functionally obsolete and was replaced with a similar concrete arch structure, wide enough to accommodate the current functional needs and provide a crossing of Cheyenne Creek for the next 100 years. Additional parking, drainage improvements and new sidewalks were added as part of the project.
South Cascade Avenue between West Brookside Street to the newly constructed South Tejon roundabout is now fully open to traffic. As part of the project, the area of South Cascade Avenue from Navajo Street to the roundabout reopened as a one-way, permanent southbound-only configuration of the road.

"This project not only replaced a functionally obsolete bridge to provide more capacity, it added pedestrian improvements and additional parking to provide better access through the Ivywild neighborhood," said Todd Frisbie, traffic engineering division manager for the City of Colorado Springs. "In combination with other recently completed transportation improvements, the South Nevada Urban Renewal and Ivywild area is now seeing much improved traffic flow in and around the area."
