Join Denver Parks & Recreation (DPR), the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) and the Mile High Flood District (MHFD) to learn the latest updates and construction schedule for the DeBoer Park Harvard Gulch Trail bridge replacement, channel restoration, and stormwater infrastructure upgrades. This will be a virtual meeting to get updates and have a chance to ask questions to the project team. Register here to receive the meeting Zoom link.
In June 2023, the bridge was found to have critical structural issues which could not be repaired and required a complete replacement of the bridge. The existing bridge does not meet modern standards and requires a new design, which has added to the project timeline. Currently under design, the new bridge must comply with all local, state, and federal requirements. Because it is located in the Harvard Gulch floodplain, construction must be completed within the low-flow season of October to April, meaning construction cannot begin any earlier than October 2025. Pending project funding, the new bridge is expected to be complete by Summer 2026.
