Here is a picture of the bridge area as of Monday late afternoon.
Wet weather yesterday has slowed the final excavation. But plans to install precast concrete culverts promises to shorten the time to completion. The latest rumor is that the road will be back open by July 18th. That sounds pretty fast from where we are!
Will you let me know who you are so I can get a better idea who I'm writing to? Take the poll on the right for the next 9 days. Thanks.
I'll also add that Tim Oliphant (see post from Monday) has had quite the week with media interviews and phone calls and e-mails from long lost friends after his incredible performance on the American Gladiators show.

We aren't coming to Missouri this year, just Colorado... But I'm wondering if the bridge being out has caused more use of the walkway bridge that was actually one of the most terrifying experiences of my life :)!! What is does the sign say when you cross over into K-Kountry?

Thanks for the comment. You'll have to let us know how you like Kanakuk Colorado. You can check out Andy Braner's blog over at andybraner.typepad.com. He's the Director out there.
Before the bridge washed out some K-Kountry parents would park in the upper lot and take the bridge over but now they just park on the other side. [Sounds like you've made that trek! It's a fun adventure if you're 10 and don't mind the heights!] So if anything there's less traffic on the red walkway bridge. The majority of foot traffic from K1 to K-Kountry goes down through the "bottoms" on a path close to the lake.
I'm not sure what the signs on the bridge say. That's a good question. Next time I go that way I'll notice and take my camera.
