~ In a recent Special City Council Meeting on March 18, an agreement was reached between the City Council and the BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) to raise the height of the Jefferson Avenue Footbridge. The council approved the agreement, which will see BNSF contributing $2 million towards increasing the clearance between the bridge and the railway by approximately three to four feet.
The decision to raise the historic structure comes as a means of protecting it while allowing BNSF to conduct future track maintenance and rail replacements. This move is expected to benefit both parties involved.

The construction for raising the bridge will take place during the upcoming Jefferson Avenue Footbridge Rehabilitation project. The project is set to begin in spring of 2025 and is estimated to be completed by early 2026.
To ensure that the community is well-informed about the construction process, a construction kick-off meeting will be held in early spring. This meeting will outline the rehabilitation process and address any concerns or questions from community members.
