The Gilbert Street Bridge Reconstruction Project involves the removal and replacement of the existing bridge on Ralston Creek. Other improvements include six-foot sidewalks with a barrier rail and handrail on both sides of the bridge, streambank stabilization, and storm sewer and water main improvements. Weather permitting, construction may begin as early as March 18, 2024.
Due to the complexity of the project, the construction work will be broken up into several phases and will include vehicle and pedestrian detours. All vehicle and pedestrian detours will be clearly marked with signage. All changes in vehicle parking will be clearly marked and communicated with residents and businesses in the project area ahead of construction work commencing.
