The next stage will overlap with the work noted above and is expected to begin early to mid-June, 2025. The I-80/35 NB Hickman ramp and the NB Douglas off ramp will be closed. The current plan is to reopen the Douglas ramp in mid-July and the Hickman ramp in early September.

Greenbelt Trail

 

 

Beginning October 1, 2024, the Greenbelt Trail will be closed where it crosses under I-35/80. The bridge is being reconstructed and it is important to keep the work zone clear for everyone’s safety.

Two detours are in place during the closure:

  • The first will take you south to University Avenue, then north on NW 114th Street to get back on the trail heading east.
  • The other option goes north along the Timberline Park Trail to the Douglas Avenue Trail. Follow that trail east to 100th Street and then go south to get back on the trail.
