Starting in August, construction to replace the County Road 8 bridge will get underway.<\/p>\n<p>In May, the Fraser Board of Trustees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/fraser-approves-1m-bid-for-county-road-8-bridge-replacement\/\">approved a $1 million proposal<\/a> from the Steamboat Springs company Duckels Construction to replace the bridge over the Fraser River on County Road 8, a project that is estimated to take around four months.<\/p>\n<p>The project was slated to start Aug. 1, but is now supposed to begin Aug. 5 depending on the height of the river, town manager Jeff Durbin said.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge, which has received a poor inspection rating from the state for at least the last 10 years, will be replaced as part of the Colorado Department of Transportation\u2019s off-highway bridge replacement program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The replacement will require the closure of County Road 8 for the duration of the project, and the town will have to provide alternative routes for drivers, emergency responders and transit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should have detour notices going out next week,&#8221; Durbin said. <\/p>\n<p>The road closure will impact Fraser\u2019s Meadow Ridge and Winter Park Ranch neighborhoods, as well as the Lift lines that run through them.<\/p>\n<p>Fraser will split the cost of the project with the Colorado Department of Transportation and Grand County. Ultimately, the local contribution from the town and county will be around $200,000. <\/p>\n<p>Paving the road around the bridge will be a separate project likely next year, Durbin added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bridge on County Road 8 over the Fraser River has been on the state&#8217;s list to replace for at least the last ten years.McKenna Harford \/ mharford@skyhinews.com Construction on the bridge is scheduled to start Aug. 5.McKenna Harford \/ mharford@skyhinews.com Damage to the underside of the bridge is just one reason for its replacement.McKenna [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-27335","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-21 00:23:17","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KIFT - The LIFT FM","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27335"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27410,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27335\/revisions\/27410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
