The basket tied-handle arch bridge carrying the West Corridor light rail will cross over the Sixth Avenue Freeway right above the path of a former freight rail spur that until 1988 crossed the freeway at grade with a signalized crossing. Courtesy RTD.

It’s a first in the United States for bridge construction – the FasTracks bridge over Sixth Avenue Freeway in Lakewood will be rolled into place intact during a weekend highway closure in April.
