Sept. 25, 2025 Update

Xcel Energy has secured a permit from CPKC Railroad to relocate the power line that has been delaying the project. 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 now discussing 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.

On Wednesday night, the entire concrete deck of the Highway 100 Bridge was poured. Concrete started flowing through large concrete pumper trucks at 8:30 pm. By approximately 4 am, the entire deck was poured. Crews were completing the finishing work and covering the concrete at 7 am, Thursday morning. The concrete deck will need approximately 7 days to cure before work can start on medians, barriers, curbs, and sidewalks.
