County Commissioners, Transportation, Parks and Open Space staff, and members of the project design and construction teams will be on-hand to help celebrate the opening of this beautiful corridor. Members of the public are encouraged to attend. Due to limited parking space, people interested in attending the ceremony are asked to carpool and park along Old South St. Vrain Road.

During the September 2013 flood event, Old St. Vrain Road was damaged and the bridge over South St. Vrain Creek was completely destroyed. The construction project, started in September 2017 and concluded in May 2018, consisted of the creation of a 180-foot long steel truss bridge with a concrete and asphalt bridge deck. The bridge that washed away during the September 2013 flood event was a 73-foot long concrete structure that was built in 1960. The new bridge is rated to withstand future 100-year flood events. The bridge/road project cost approximately $2.26 million to construct and is eligible for federal reimbursement. JUB Engineers assisted with project design and construction consultation and SEMA Construction, Inc. completed the work. Visit the project webpage for more information.
