BACKGROUND
Several industries at the eastern portion of the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park
( PMAIP) utilize the railroad spur for receiving materials and shipping finished product.
The spur was constructed in 1942 for the Army Air Base but is inadequate to support
the heavy loads of modern locomotives and fully loaded rolling stock. This project will
bring a large portion of the railroad spur up to current industrial spur track standards.
Attached is a bid summary showing the results of competitive bids on this project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project will be paid from Project Code ED0607.
