The Fremont County Road and Bridge Department has announced that Phantom Canyon Road (County Road 67) will be closed to all through traffic into Teller County starting Monday, April 24th as work begins on a bridge reconstruction. Reynolds Construction of Cañon City is slated to begin work on a new timber deck for the bridge located just south of the Fremont-Teller County line. Under the $23,967 contract, crews will remove the old bridge decking and install new timbers. Reynolds will have 60 days to complete the work with the road expected to reopen to traffic by late June.
Motorists will encounter road blocks in both Fremont and Teller Counties on Phantom Canyon Road starting April 24th and should plan to use alternate routes.
The project is being funded by a $50,000 Colorado Mineral Impact Grant, $10,000 in local matching money from Fremont County, and a $10,000 contribution from the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company.
