COLORADO SPRINGS â An attention-getting installation visible from I-25 through Colorado Springs is now a functioning pedestrian bridge linking America the Beautiful Park and downtown Colorado Springs.
âIt s symbolically, in my opinion, a bridge to our future, said Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers.
