The new Sixth Avenue Light Rail Bridge gets ready to be moved into place over the Highway this weekend, just east of Simms/Union in Lakewood, near the Federal Center, west of Denver, Colorado.

6th Avenue Bridge Roll-Out - April 30-May 2

The West Corridor "signature bridge" will be rolled across 6th Avenue the weekend of Friday, April 30th through Sunday, May 2. This activity will require the complete shutdown of 6th Avenue between Simms/Union and Kipling. The frontage road between Simms/Union and Quail Street will also be shut down through the weekend.

Due to the unique nature of this event, the West Corridor Public Information team will be hosting a viewing area on Saturday, May 1 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. in the parking lot located on the northeast corner of Quail and the north 6th Avenue Frontage Road. Community members are invited to stop by to observe this historic event. The easiest access to this location is from Quail Street via Simms/8th Avenue or Colfax.
