Gov. Jared Polis wants to build a pedestrian walkway and bridge connecting the Capitol complex and Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park in time to celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday in 2026.
State officials outlined two phases of the project, with the first connecting the Capitol to Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park starting and finishing construction in 2026.
A capital fundraising campaign is set to begin immediately, according to the timeline released by Polis’ office, but no other details about the campaign were provided in the release. Officials were unable to provide more information about the project on Friday. “Industry and corporate partners can support specific installations highlighting important economic contributions” while incorporating Colorado history and supporting local artists, state officials said.
The state’s Public-Private Partnership Collaboration Unit and History Colorado are also involved in the project, and state officials have already contracted with Chicago-based firm Studio Gang for the design.
