The existing bridge on S. Dahlia Street over the High Line Canal needs to be replaced. The Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) will remove the deteriorating bridge, which was constructed in 1952, and install a large concrete box culvert as part of the Bridge Asset Management Program. The road over the new box culvert will match the existing configuration of one lane in each direction with sidewalks on both sides.
During construction, S. Dahlia Street will close between Highline Place and E. Eastman Avenue. Residents will still be able to use S. Dahlia Street to access their homes from either side of the bridge. Through vehicle traffic will be detoured. The High Line Canal Trail will close just west of S. Dahlia Street, and S. Dahlia Street sidewalks near the bridge will be impacted. Trail and sidewalk detours will be provided.
The project is anticipated to begin in late May/early June 2025. Construction will take approximately four months.
