CONSTRUCTION UPDATES

  • Details:

    The bridge is proposed to be 6 ft wide and 28 ft long spanning across McCoy Creek connecting the ski yard to Cresta Road

    Benefits:

    • Will connect Cherokee trails with the Mountain Trails (Ute, Apache & pedestrian trail along McCoy Creek), creating a seamless and beautiful entrance to the mountain trails for hikers and bikers

    • Provides easy exit for bikers, eliminating the need for bikers to ride down the stairs and through the breezeway

    Construction Schedule:

    • Currently in planning, design and permitting stage

    • The intended schedule is a late summer / early fall

  • The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District (ERWSD) is replacing a critical, aging, water main in the Arrowhead ski area, along Piece-O-Cake ski run and Cresta Road.

    Construction began last April, was suspended during the winter months, and is starting back up on May 5th.

    Week of May 5th:

    • ERWSD will begin to mobilize equipment Monday, May 5th.

    • Expect to see excavation mid week.  

    • There will be a road cut on Cresta road on a date TBD in May; they will have flaggers and we will get communication out to the community once we have more information.

    ERWSD’s detailed letter with map offers additional project information.

    Project updates will be posted on this website and can also be found at erwsd.org.

  • The Arrowhead Association will rebuild the old picnic deck at the top of Pow Wow and provide picnic tables for winter and summer use.

  • The roundabout construction is complete. Landscaping work will continue through early August.

  • The upper portion of the Cresta Trail is targeted for completion in August and the lower portion by the end of September. More details to come on the ribbon-cutting in August.
