GLENWOOD SPRINGS— —Part of the special pot of state money that will be used to replace the Highway 82 Grand Avenue Bridge could be set aside to deal with traffic impacts during construction, according to state transportation officials.
Joining members of the Grand Avenue Bridge project working group at a Glenwood Springs City Council meeting last week was Ken Szeliga, program manager for Colorado Bridge Enterprise Fund.
While the Glenwood Springs project has been slated to receive $59 million from the CBEF, it’s possible that some of that money could be set aside to deal with anticipated traffic impacts during construction, Szeliga said.
That could include improvements to local street connections to help ease traffic congestion and allow for detour options during the bridge construction, he said.
Many of the 78 bridge projects in the CBEF program also include a mix of state, federal and local funds to accomplish any off-site improvements that are identified, Szeliga said.
