Pine Street Bridge at Little Salt Wash Closed for Reconstruction Starting October 3, 2022, through September 2023.
September 26, 2022
Starting Monday, October 3, 2022, the Pine Street Bridge north of K 4/10 Road and south of K 6/10 Road will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians for the reconstruction of the bridge over the Little Salt Wash. The current bridge, built in 1969, is functionally obsolete with two lanes and constricts traffic flow on Pine Street. The reconstruction will include necessary safety enhancements by widening the bridge to three lanes, installing curbs, gutters, and five-foot wide sidewalks on each side of the bridge. The full closure is expected to last through September of 2023.
There are several utilities, both private and public, affected by the reconstruction. The City of Fruita has worked with utility companies to ensure continued service during the closure. The City of Fruita will facilitate the utility relocation work through the month of October and GA Western will start construction of the new bridge at the end of October. The reconstruction project is estimated to cost $1,900,000.
“Pine Street is a three-lane road and reconstruction of the bridge over the Little Salt Wash, will bring the bridge up to the City’s design standards to ensure safety for both pedestrians and vehicles. We appreciate the community’s patience while this project begins this fall and continues into next year.”– Sam Atkins, City Engineer
The City of Fruita requests residents and visitors to stay away from the construction site as hazardous conditions may exist. The recommended detour during the bridge closure is utilizing K 6/10 Road, North Maple Street, and K Road/Ottley Avenue to travel around the closure. A map of the recommended detour is below. The City of Fruita appreciates the community’s patience during this important project that will benefit Fruita for generations.
