Pedestrian bridge construction to change traffic for a bit
Tuesday, December 17, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
Construction on the new bicycle and pedestrian bridge before the Longhorn Dam will alter traffic patterns on Pleasant Valley Road starting today. According to a missive from the Transportation and Public Works Department, the traffic configuration will change by:
- Shifting both traffic lanes to the east side of South Pleasant Valley Road to one-way in both directions.
- Rerouting pedestrians and bikers using the Ann & Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail onto the east side of South Pleasant Valley Road.
- Canterbury Street will continue to serve as a detour for pedestrians and bikers using the Ann & Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail with one-way traffic heading west.
Supports for the bridge are expected to be completed by the end of the year, with construction on the Pleasant Valley underpass continuing through May of 2025. The project timeline remains on track, with an anticipated completion in the summer of 2026.
