The 75-year-old KLO bridge will soon be replaced, and Âé¶čAV residents are invited to learn more about the project which also includes a new roundabout.
âThe KLO bridge replacement will not only help protect our cityâs infrastructure but will provide improvements thatâll benefit everyone who uses this important crossing,â said Steven Robertson, project manager.
The bridge is nearing the end of its service life and its low-grade position presents a flooding risk. The installation of a roundabout on the east side of the bridge will help improve traffic flow, increase intersection safety and support active transportation options.
âThe larger and higher bridge deck will increase flood protection, create a safer route for those who walk, bike or roll and provide an uninterrupted path for Mission Creek Greenway users without having to cross the street above,â Robertson added.
Replacing the bridge will cost an estimated $23 million with construction expected to start this year and be completed in 2026.
Staff will be available to answer questions and share information about the project at Reid Hall, Benvoulin Heritage Park (279 Benvoulin Road) on Thursday, Sept. 26 from 3 to 6:30 p.m.
