Beginning Monday, April 17th, the 9th Street pedestrian bridge will be closed for a refurbishment project that includes re-decking and painting of the entire structure. The bridge project is anticipated to last approximately one month, weather permitting.
The 9th Street pedestrian bridge is a section of the Yampa River Core Trail that connects downtown to Howelsen Hill. There will be no access across the bridge during the duration of the project.
Access to Howelsen Hill and the amenities on Howelsen Parkway from downtown will be via 5th Street to Howelsen Parkway. A signed detour will be posted for the duration of the project from the intersection of 5th Street and Howelsen Parkway to the Ambulance/Search & Rescue Barn on Yampa Street.
