About the project

We’re replacing the aging Pioneer Trail bridge over the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail and adding improvements to make walking and biking safer. Reconstruction is planned for 2026 and will include:

  • Removing the old bridge and building a new one
  • Adding bike lanes and sidewalks for safer walking and biking
  • Keeping the road as a two-way street with one lane each way
  • Setting up detours for the Pioneer Trail and the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional trail during construction

We’ll share updates and get feedback from residents and stakeholders throughout the project. We will post details on construction and detour routes to help you plan your travel as construction approaches.
