In case you were wondering what the construction was along NW 64th Street east of I-29, the 30 year old narrow sidewalk is being replaced with an 8-10 foot wide trail which will remove the gap in the Southern Platte Pass Trail. When this work between I-29 and Strathbury at the entrance to the Coventry neighborhood is complete, everyone along Route 45/NW 64th Street all the way out to Union Chapel and 45 will be able to get to the Line Creek Trail. In the map below, white shows the limits of the improvement and green shows existing trails.
The contractor isn't wasting any time. This is looking east from the Northland Passage apartments entrance near I-29 where the grading is done and the rock base is ready for compaction.
Concrete work is about halfway done. This is looking east from NW London which is the second ingress/egress to the apartments.
Sometimes things that need to be retrofitted aren't exactly ideal and have to be worked around like telecommunication equipment. This is looking west from Strathbury which is the entrance to Coventry.
Lastly this is corresponding looking east view which shows how the new trail ties into the existing trail along the south side of NW 64th Street near the fire station.
This will tie into the trail underneath I-29 which I did a post about in 2012 where you can learn about the type of retaining wall built with that project.
