October 2, 2025 Update
Xcel Energy has de-energized the power line that has conflicted with the new west bridge support. The contractor will begin work next week to excavate an area for Xcel Energy to place a steel pipe that will contain the power line in the future. This steel pipe protects it from potential hits and makes it more resilient. They will also begin removing the old bridge support. There is not enough time to complete the Vernon Avenue Bridge by November 15 as detailed in the contract due to this delay. Xcel Energy and the contractor are developing schedules and cost to finish the project. When information is available, it will be shared. The critical path is asphalt paving and how long the asphalt plants are open before closing for the winter.
