Maintenance work progressing on Trail
The unusually warm weather has provided good working conditions as the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department continues maintenance work on a section of the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail in northern Colorado Springs.
Fortunately to date, much of the utility work and the early stages of the concrete work have been addressed at the southern end of the work zone. Supply shortages continue to hamper construction projects such as this throughout the country. Many of the items in high demand are interdependent on other items, thus also affecting timing.
Crews are also forming up sections of the trail on the southern end for the next pour of concrete as it gets widened to 12 feet. Making this project even more challenging, access and getting materials to the site are complex and for the most part, need to be done manually.
