The 7th St. bridge over the Cache la Poudre River has several areas of deterioration that need to be repaired, which will result in a full closure of 7th St. between Eastman Park Dr. and Laku Lake Rd.

To accomplish the repairs, the existing asphalt road deck will be removed, allowing crews to make repairs to the bridge’s sub-structure from above, significantly lowering costs and improving the timeframe of the closure.

Once repairs to the sub-structure are complete, a new concrete road deck will be installed, which will increase the overall lifespan of the bridge by 15 to 25 years.

In addition to the closure of 7th St., the Poudre River Trail—which runs underneath the bridge—will also be closed in that section during the course of the project.

    Following the end of the school year, the town will commence the 7th Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project, which will require a full closure of 7th St. from Eastman Park Drive to Laku Lake Rd. through August, weather permitting.

    Significant traffic delays and congestion are expected throughout the duration of the project, and motorists are strongly encouraged to plan alternate routes in advance, particularly if accessing Eastman Park, the Eastman Park River Experience or Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church.
