Construction for the new pedestrian bridge begins this fall. Prior to construction starting, selected trees will be removed that are in the alignment of the new bridge and ramps. Tree preservation is an important part of the 170 Street Pedestrian Bridge project, and new trees will be planted in the project area. No access for businesses or residents will be impacted during the tree removal
The previous ramp and bridge abutment will also be removed prior to the new bridge being constructed. To remove the previous structure, the existing shared-use path between 87 Avenue and 88 Avenue will be closed from October 25 - November 7. During this closure, pedestrians will be detoured to 165 Street.
