Construction Update: Iron Horse Trail Overcrossing
The Bollinger Canyon Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing is making substantial progress toward completion.
Recently, the Overcrossing deck infill joints were installed. This process required a concrete truck with a pumping mechanism to deliver the concrete up to the deck surface to fill the joints. Work was done without a full road closure and completed in one day. This is a major milestone because it provides a complete and final bridge deck walking surface.
Anti-graffiti coating was also recently applied to the Overcrossing structure to provide resistance to vandalism.
Currently, many additional tasks are in process:
• Topsoil is being placed in landscaping areas in preparation for planting
• Plants and trees have been ordered and delivery / installation will begin soon
• Decorative boulders are being installed
• Electrical work is taking place for the Overcrossing lighting
• Handrails have been ordered and will begin arriving on-site in weekly deliveries through the end of February
The anticipated completion date for the Overcrossing is August 2025.
