ABC Trail Closure on Maroon Creek Bridge
Detour Required August 22 - 31
Aspen, Colorado – August 15, 2022 – There will be a full closure of the Maroon Creek Bridge pedestrian trail, and a required detour will be in place on the ABC Trail between Aspen and the Airport Business Center between August 22 and August 31. The City of Aspen Parks and Open Space Department is repairing the trail surface on the Maroon Creek Bridge, and the repair requires warm overnight temperatures for the sealing epoxy.
The detour will be clearly marked; however, trail users should be aware that the detour is significantly longer and less direct than the usual trail. Pedestrians and bicyclists are asked to take Tiehack Road to the Terral Wade Bridge to Maroon Creek Road back to the trail and vice versa. Please do not attempt to cross Highway 82 or utilize bus lanes for bicycles and pedestrians. The community is encouraged to use bus service during this time.
The City of Aspen recognizes the inconvenience that this causes and appreciates trail users’ patience and looks forward to a new and improved surface on the damaged section in September.
The Parks and Open Space Department can be reached at 970-920-5120 with questions.
