On Sunday, October 15, 2023, the east half of this bridge carrying BNSF's Pikes Peak Sub over I-25 collapsed due to a broken rail. A loaded coal train derailed as a result of the broken rail, striking the bridge support. The highway was closed for four days for cleanup and repairs. BNSF trains ran on UP's mainline further to the east during the closure. Over two years later, a loaded grain train headed for Barstow, CA crosses over the bridge and I-25 on its way south toward Pueblo and points beyond.
