Project improves safety for cyclists and pedestrians with construction of new bridge
Posted on January 29, 2025 2025Transportation
If you travel on University Boulevard near C-470, plan for minor traffic impacts as crews begin building a new pedestrian bridge.
The new pedestrian bridge will be installed over the westbound C-470 University off-ramp and the C-470 westbound on-ramp. This project will take place through December 2025.
With the new bridge, pedestrians and cyclists will no longer have to navigate four separate roadway crossings, totaling eight lanes of traffic. This will improve safety for all travelers and decrease delays for motorists, who no longer have to stop for pedestrians and cyclists.

Project Overview. View map.
A new pedestrian bridge over University will make the C-470 Trail safer for pedestrians and cyclists – and improve mobility for drivers in the area. Currently, trail users must make four separate roadway crossings totaling eight lanes of traffic. Additional work includes trail improvements to tie the existing trail system to the new bridge, drainage improvements, ramp improvements, as well as curb and gutter improvements.
