      The bridge completes a nearly seven-mile stretch of Fort Apache between Cheyenne Avenue and Grand Teton Drive.

      The Downtown bar, popular for its video game arcade theme, closed its doors this month after entertaining guests for four years. According to owner Christopher LaPorte, the bar's management fell behind on rent and the property's landlord filed for eviction in late June. Laporte said the closure is temporary and he hopes to reopen soon.
