Construction for the new riverwalk boathouse in Pueblo is underway

Posted

PUEBLO — Progress is being made on an upgrade to a historic spot in Pueblo.

The metal frame of the new riverwalk boathouse has been built, along with the channel increasing in size.

This is all part of the new expansion project for the riverwalk.

When it's done, the building will house the riverwalk boats, along with having event spaces.

Lynn Clark of the Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo voiced her passion for the ongoing project.

"It's important to our community we should have beautiful things and beautiful places in our community so having this come out of the ground now it is kind of emotional at times we are being very particular with the construction process with our partners that things need to be a certain way."

This expansion costs a little over 15 million dollars with money coming from federal, state, and local groups.

The project is expected to be completed in December 2025.
