Denver's New Pedestrian Bridge Set to Open | Denver News

Denver’s long-awaited pedestrian bridge over Santa Fe Drive is finally here—after 10 years of planning—spanning 370 feet, 12 feet wide, and 30 feet high as part of the Elevate Denver Bond project. To install it, a major weekend closure hits South Santa Fe Drive between Evans and Florida Avenues from midnight July 11–5 AM July 13, with a backup weekend July 18–20. Drivers face detours: northbound go east on Evans, north on Broadway, then west on Mississippi; southbound head west on Florida, south on Platte River Drive, then east on Evans. Plus, the West Evans on-ramp closes July 10, and the southbound off-ramp stays shut until September 11 for additional sidewalk and concrete work. This bridge finally connects the Overland neighborhood, offering safer crossings over busy streets and train tracks.
