“Cadence” Cited as Progress Continues on Highway 50 Bridges at Blue Mesa Reservoir

“Cadence” in reference to the steady rhythm with which work is progressing, was repeatedly cited at Tuesday evening’s virtual meeting hosted by Colorado Dept. of Transportation as an update to ongoing bridge repairs at Blue Mesa Reservor.
CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew opened Tuesday’s session noting “less news to report” despite the “steady cadence of construction.”
Gunnison Assistant County Manager Martin Schmidt also referred to cadence with the steady tempo of work which will begin on the lower Sapinero Bridge “as work sets in and we continue to look out for everybody as best we can.”

Limited two-hour morning and late after-noon crossings continue on Blue Mesa Reservoir’s Dillon Pinnacles Bridge as CDOT contractors strengthen girders access-ed from underneath the bridge with cross bracing and, shown above, a total of 20 rectangular access holes which are cut through concrete on the bridge decking.
As of mid-week this week, bridge reenforcement is reaching the half-way point with the goal of completing the work both at Dillon Pinnacles and work yet-to-start on the Sapinero Bridge prior to winter set-in, mid-November.
