Overview

The Fillmore Bridge Project seeks to evaluate the deteriorating bridges on Fillmore Street over Monument Creek, the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail, and the Union Pacific Railroad, and seeks to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety along Fillmore and provide trail connection(s) to the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail. 

Existing maintenance is occurring on the bridges over Monument Creek and the Union Pacific Railroad, just east of I-25. Maintenance includes repairs to the bridge decks, waterproofing, and an asphalt overlay. This work is expected to last through the end of 2024. Current maintenance is not part of the Fillmore Bridge Project, but updates will be provided as they are made available given the proximity of the work.
