The Thompson Creek Bridge contractor obtained concrete earlier than expected, and crews completed the pouring of the north side lane of the CR 108 bridge Thursday. The concrete is one of three layers that will make up the driving surface of the bridge; the others are a waterproof membrane to protect the steel, and finally new asphalt. Workers are now starting removal of the original asphalt from the south side of the bridge over the previously worn steel decking.

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