August 1, 2024 Project Update

Bolton Menk has finished the concept level work to study possible bridge concepts and determine what will fit best. They have also started working with the preferred architect, Snow Kreilich. Both firms need an opportunity to work on specific details related to the concept and structural engineering. They are looking at whether or not stairs could be added. They have also developed a project schedule. The new bridge will require an approval by the state bridge engineer and that takes time. Construction will most likely occurr in 2026. As updates occur, staff will be updating the BetterTogetherEdina website and City Council as appropriate.
