Cherry Creek State Park road damaged by historic rain to reopen Jan. 26
AURORA, Colo. – Cherry Creek State Park will host a ribbon cutting Jan. 26 for East Lake View Road after the road was closed for eight months due to heavy damage sustained by storms in May. The park recorded historic water inflow levels last spring which caused infrastructure washout, wetlands area habitat damage and swimbeach erosion. Road and culvert construction began in early November and cost about $607,000.
