After delays due to steel and concrete shortages, construction is moving “full steam ahead” on the 300 North no-car bridge, which will take pedestrians and cyclists safely up and over the train tracks at approximately 500 West.
The city had hoped the bridge would be finished this summer, but supply chain issues put it behind schedule.
The no-car bridge, which will take pedestrians and cyclists safely up and over the train tracks at approximately 500 West, will form an important east-west connection, Larsen said. But the point where 300 North crosses the train tracks is particularly dangerous due to its location near a switching yard. As trains are disconnected and reconnected, and loaded and unloaded, they can lurch forward or backward suddenly, Larsen said, making it particularly hazardous to climb on the connections between train cars.Larsen said that knowing you can cross the tracks anytime along 300 North on a safe, comfortable bridge will be “huge” for the surrounding neighborhoods.
