The path is clear for the Wynkoop Crossing bridge to span Speer Boulevard, but not a single tax dollar changed hands to make it happen. On June 16, 2026, the City of Denver approved a non-financial intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Kroenke Sports and Entertainment Metropolitan District No. 2 and No. 3 to finalize the land rights needed for the project.
This legal maneuver clears the final bureaucratic hurdle for the bridge landing area. Under the terms of the agreement, the city will convey specific easements to the districts, allowing construction to proceed without the usual financial exchange. The deal locks in a timeline that sees the structure fully completed and operational by April 29, 2029.
The bridge serves as a critical connector for the Wynkoop Crossing development, linking the new residential and commercial zones directly across the busy Speer Boulevard corridor. By approving this IGA, city officials confirmed that the land transfer is sufficient to move the project from planning to physical construction. The agreement covers the specific rights needed for the bridge landing, ensuring the districts can build the necessary infrastructure to support the new neighborhood.
Residents can track the progress of this development by attending public meetings at Denver City Hall. For detailed records of the legislation and future hearing schedules, interested parties can visit the official city portal at https://denver.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=57098.
