COLORADO SPRINGS — Questions are swirling about drivers and pedestrian safety after the City of Colorado Springs shared a picture on Facebook the other day.
It's a tilted rocker bearing on the Fillmore Street bridge. You can see the Facebook post below:
They say it's been stable in that position and the bridge is safe to drive on. The city says engineers have been monitoring it for the last 10 to 15 years and inspect it every 90 days.
On Tuesday, the city had an open house to show the public its plans and to listen to comments and concerns.
The project is still in phase one, and the entire project will take a few years to complete.
