| Project Detail |
Originally built in 1911, and widened in 1966, the Alameda Avenue bridge over the South Platte River is the oldest bridge on the state highway system. The project will replace the bridge and provide multi-modal improvements for the benefit of drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. Project features include: Replacing the Alameda Avenue bridge over the South Platte River with a new structure - this will improve multi-modal travel, safety and flood capacities Modifying Alameda intersections to improve access and build a multi-modal corridor - this work includes reconfiguring the I-25 South Santa Fe Drive interchange, eliminating South Platte River Drive from Alameda to Cedar, and diverting traffic to the widened South Lipan Street north of West Alameda Avenue Reconstructing the South Platte River Trail - there will be improvements in sight distance, increased 12-foot concrete trail, a four-foot finely crushed stone trail, and three-foot vegetated shoulders for an overall trail width of 22 feet Constructing an on-street two-way cycle track on the north side of Alameda between South Lipan and South Kalamath streets with a connection to the South Platte River Trail Installing a water quality pond and associated South Platte River outfall Improving sidewalks on both sides of Alameda |
