Within the City and County of Denver, Cherry Creek falls under the jurisdiction of Parks and Recreation. They get out and plow sooner than the roads are plowed as a general rule. The trail may still see some ice in places but, for the most part, it is clear.
The only wooden bridges I can think of that Le Mechanic referred to are way out east near Cherry Creek Reservoir. The rest of the trail and creek crossings are on concrete bridges.
