Thank you so much!

In Texas we drive slow in whatever lane we want.

Como Dibujar Todo ha, thank you!

@@DavisDeatonPhotography welcome 😃

Erik Hjelt Jazz couldn’t agree more! Thank you!

Gopro Creations Thank you!! Not much changing with the bridge these days, at least nothing that can be seen from the air. (which is why there haven’t been any new videos recently..). Going to try to upload a new one this winter though when we get a good snow!

I watch the bridge cam every once in a while. It was a very interesting project. I sure appreciated you keeping us up to date...A snow video would be awesome!!!! Looking forward to it..

Jill Pidcock trying to keep everybody on their toes.. you never know when a new video is coming. 😆 thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!

Kermit Peck/TM you must have a good eye for traffic violations because I don’t see it! But thank you for watching! At this point, pretty much all that’s left is cosmetic changes/improvements. The construction itself is pretty much complete.

Davis Deaton interesting. if you look closely at 4:05, you might see the driver make a u turn on double yellow right after going through the roundabout, which is kinda dangerous.

GoPro Creations hi RJ! I was hoping you’d see the train! Got the bridge, got the Amtrak... best of both worlds!

Looks like you got it all...Thanks again.

Very cool! Thanks for watching Henry!

Kai Kanzer Thanks m8

Thanks Kermit Peck/TM! It definitely is a beautiful place to live and also great to visit! Glenwood is a special town! Thanks for watching!

Jill Pidcock thank you! Great idea! I’ll have to try a Strawberry Days video!

Thank you RJ! It's been pretty rainy here these last few weeks, but in a couple months everything will be warm and green. We look forward to having you back in Glenwood Springs!

Thank you Mr. Bonney for your comment, and thank you for watching from France!

Thanks, as always, for your comment Mr. Peabody! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but aside from documenting the incredible construction process, I've been creating these videos as a part of my "Senior Project" at Glenwood Springs High School. If all goes according to plan, I'm hoping to work with CDOT to create a mini documentary type film showing a compilation of the project from start to finish with interviews to go along with it. In theory, CDOT will be able to use it as they see fit, such as for advertising as you mention. That's the plan, anyway, but if that doesn't work out, at the least I'll have all these videos for everyone to watch into the future! I've really come to enjoy this type of aerial photography/videography and would love to apply it to future projects (such as something with Amtrak, etc.) down the road! Hopefully the opportunities arise, and if they do, they'll definitely be posted here on KZbin for y'all to see! Thanks so much for watching!

It's great that you were finally able to make it over to Glenwood Springs! You hopefully got to enjoy a very nice, white Christmas! :D. It goes without saying that the weather here is considerably warmer in the summer, though, and the town offers a lot of great things to do. You're always welcome back! Thanks for watching the video!

The original bridge was far too narrow for the four lanes it was being used for. (originally constructed with the intent of two lanes) and it was built over 64 years ago, so you're right on both counts.. too narrow and structurally deficient. The new bridge better accommodates the growing town where four lanes quickly became a necessity! Thanks for watching!

no problem davis, i live in small town usa myself, but its a much smaller town in tennessee with around 3.5k people in it, but i also know how vital infrastructure can be to even the smallest of towns. i like how glenwood springs is making more investments to their local infrastructure and is active in making sure projects are completed in the fastest way possible. you can't have a town that looks bad, it doesn't attract industry and commerce.

Thank you!! :-)

Thanks so much! I definitely plan to keep the videos coming as the progress on the bridge continues. Thanks for watching!

Thank you Mr. Peabody for the kind words! I've loved reading your feedback through the comments over the last few months. I plan to continue posting more videos of the bridge until they get it completed, so if you'd like to give me some song names, I'd be happy to put them behind the footage in the future!

DD, I think your choices for music are good. Country music will not stop me from enjoying your videos. I would not want to suggest to you how to score your videos. You do wonderful job now. I also like the other videos on your site. You seem to have a good background in music. I like most kinds of music, classical, jazz, 70's rock, {Moody blues, etc.}. This is your art form, I am just along for the ride. Keep up the good work. Man, that sunset on the end of this video is just amazing.

Thanks R J! You’re going to love the Bridges. (and Glenwood Springs for that matter!!). They did a great job both designing it and finishing it. Hopefully you’ll be able to post your own video driving across it soon! 😃

The Colorado River flows all the way to the Gulf of Mexico (Oops. Gulf of California). At what point should they have actually "crossed" the river to get to the other side, as opposed to go "around" the river? This was a replacement for an outdated bridge that had been there since the 60s, I believe.

GSMSfromFV I still don’t understand why everyone is so intent on them building a bridge. There was never a need for the road to cross the river. Simply extend Grand Avenue to the Pacific at which point a ferry could pick up the cars and loop them 10-15 feet to the other side of the river. The cars could then proceed back NE on Grand Avenue 2.0 and be deposited in north Glenwood Springs. It really makes you wonder what our founding fathers were thinking when they built the river where they did. All of this could easily have been prevented with a little common sense. #AshamedAmerican

All righty then . . .

actually chris if you think about it, its better to just build across the river. it cuts down on commute times, and allows for more commerce and it raises the attraction level so more industry/business comes into the area too. a city that invests in infrastructure is a city that is investing into its own future and decides their fate, because infrastructure is the driving force to a thriving local economy. i live in camden tn and i can tell you right now my small town isn't really investing much on roads as it is in electrical and both us routes (70 and 641) not only need widening, there is some intersections that need a new light for safety reasons and other intersections that already have lights a update (addition of crosswalks and some intersection modifications) so yea, im also ashamed of my town too, but im happy that glenwood springs recognized the need for a new bridge.

The work the crews did in building the bridge truly was/is amazing! It was a pleasure to share these video's with y'all! I assume you made it to Glenwood?

It is amazing. Actually, I injured my back 3 weeks ago and was laid up. We are looking at next week. I cant wait.

Sorry to hear that. I'm hoping to get another video up of the *completed* bridge sometime in the next few days so you can get an updated view of what you'll be looking at! They still have quite a bit of work before everything is done, but it sure beats having no bridge at all! :)

Having watched all your videos, I am very excited about driving on it with Gopros in tow. I am very interested in the walk way. Thanks for everything.

bestamerica this is in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. There’s the newly constructed Grand Avenue Bridge with Interstate 70 (i70) going underneath it!

big thank davis... long way to east denver on I-70

Hi Mr. Michael! Thanks for watching. If you go to my channel and watch some of my more recent videos, you'll see they've been working on a whole new roundabout system on the northwest side of the bridge. This will provide all the connections to the existing roadways. The old bridge was getting a little outdated with Glenwood's quickly growing population. It was designed to be too narrow for the four lanes that it was being used for, and it was getting old in general. (wearing out). Hopefully the other videos will help answer your other question! Thanks again for watching!

The old bridge was built in 1954, and was in terrible shape. That's why,

James Bailey also true.. thanks for answering!

Thanks Mr. Peabody! Glenwood looks especially beautiful this time of year. Thanks for watching!

Thanks RJ! Do you still plan to come visit Glenwood??

Yes, as soon as I get some loose ends taken care of here. We are looking forward to it. My girlfriend loves the videos.

Hopefully you'll be able to come soon! Thanks for showing her the videos!

Within 2 weeks, I'm sure. I have my Jeep ready to travel..
