'The Skyway Bridge' In Commerce City Will Be The Longest In Colorado
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (CBS4) - Construction is underway on what will be the longest bridge in Colorado.
The Skyway Bridge is being built south of York Street in Commerce City and will be part of the new North Metro Rail Line.
The rail line will go from Denver's Union Station through Commerce City, Northglenn, and Thornton.
The more than 9,533-foot bridge is just one of 13 that will be built for the new line. It will stand nearly 50 feet above grade at its highest point.
"It's an accomplishment for our project to say we worked with many professionals and stakeholders to design the longest bridge in Colorado, and it's in RTD's transit system, which makes it all that more exciting for us," Ashland Vaughn, project manager for the North Metro Rail Line, said in a statement.
