GARFIELD COUNTY, CO – The new bridge deck steel arrived late Wednesday afternoon, and is on site at the County Road 108 Thompson Creek bridge location. The previous metal deck is cut all the way down the middle for removal.

Steel plates have been attached to the north side curb in preparation for welding the new decking in place. Work Thursday will center on removal of the previous deck to prepare for installation of the new steel decking.

The pedestrian walkway remains open over the CR 108 bridge, though temporary delays may occur to ensure public safety near welding, and active machinery and equipment.

Detour routes for the Glenwood Springs side include County Road 109 to Highway 82 near Ironbridge/Westbank; or Dry Park Road to County Road 117 (Four Mile) to Glenwood Springs. Carbondale traffic is recommended to use highways 133 and 82.
