The center span as a unit ready to be hoisted into place is 195 feet. That includes the portions that sit on top the piers, so the distance between the pier faces is somewhat less. I think the clearance over the trail is a little higher than 20 feet; regardless, the arrow for the clearance is drawn very badly in the sense that the bottom is nowhere near the part of the trail directly below the deck.

Yesterday it was 65 °F with high clouds here at the north end of the Colorado Front Range urban corridor. I took a ride to see the city’s new gift to the bicycle cult. The city seems to finish about one major construction project on the trail system every couple of years. The next one broke ground this month — it will close a half-mile gap in the trail system, including going under the six lanes of the second busiest street in town.
