In an effort to provide continued community use of the roadway, address public safety, and provide adequate emergency service access to park users and neighborhoods surrounding the park three roadway bridges are scheduled for replacement in fall 2020.

"We are committed to maintaining the historic context of North Cheyenne Cañon Park as we design and replace the existing roadway bridges. The proposed design incorporates elements from the North Cheyenne Cañon Park Master and Management Plan in a way that continues the rich history of the park while facilitating continued access and safety for both those who enjoy the park and the surrounding community," said Aaron Egbert, project manager and senior engineer with the City of Colorado Springs.

The proposed design and construction plans were guided, in part, through input received during a series of public listening sessions in June 2019 designed to gain feedback about bridge aesthetics and roadway and park use during construction.
