Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)
Girders covering the first 2/3 of the lid beginning at the south were installed over the weekend. The final 28 girders will be installed later in November, hopefully the week before Thanksgiving. Completing the southern section was critical to moving 19th Street onto the bridge, which is important for project timing. You will see steel rebar getting tied on the bridge this week in preparation for the concrete deck pour.
Curb and Gutter and paving for portions of the US 6 main line from under the lid to the north will begin this week as most activity will move up to the 19th Street approach slabs in preparation for moving 19th Street onto the bridge prior to the end of the year.
There is a construction viewing in the northwest corner that can be accessed from Parfet Estates Drive, and will be an excellent location to view the girder placement. Please park legally.

The Mayor's Community Celebration was a success! Here's what you missed...
Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan honored two individuals, two couples and one student activity club for their outstanding contributions and commitment to the Golden Community at the Mayor's 2016 Community Celebration, which was held on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) Student Center.
Mayor Sloan and her Award Selection Committee were overwhelmed with more than two dozen nominations! Narrowing the field down was a difficult task. Below is a list of the winners. If you missed the event, you can still watch a video of the evening's celebration to the right.
This year the Community Celebration highlighted the city's relationship with CSM. CSM President, Paul Johnson was on hand to congratulate the winners and introduced the keynote speaker, Marv Kay. Mr. Kay is a legend in Golden and on the CSM campus. He is a former Golden mayor as well as former CSM football coach and athletic director. Congressman Ed Perlmutter also joined the celebration.
