"This is an area of town that I have made a priority in my administration. This is what what we call 'The Corridor of Opportunity' so when you hear us refer to it, you know what we're talking about from Union Station to all the way out to DIA," said Hancock.

The new bridge is part of a project that will improve a quarter-mile stretch of Blake Street.
