Boeckman Bridge Ribbon Cutting

On Wednesday, May 21, the City anticipates reopening Boeckman Road two two-way thru traffic. A segment of roadway has been closed for more than a year to construct the Boeckman Bridge and a new roundabout at the Canyon Creek Road intersection.

In celebration of this significant project milestone, the City invites neighbors and interested community members to attend a free ribbon-cutting event, on Tuesday, May 20, at 4:30 pm at a stage east of the bridge, west of Painter Dr. 

The event will feature light refreshments, remarks, and the first opportunity to traverse the new bridge by foot, on cycles, or via SMART shuttle. 

Attendees may park at Meridian Creek Middle School and take a SMART shuttle or walk approximately a half-mile to/from the event. 

The Boeckman Bridge supports current and future growth in Frog Pond by more safely and efficiently accommodating vehicle, cyclist and pedestrian traffic. Once it opens, only minor lane and sidewalk closures are expected to be necessary along Boeckman Road for the duration of this project phase. A second phase of the project, scheduled to take place next year, will remove the remaining embankment from the Boeckman dip, and take out the existing culvert and its flow control structure to allow for the restoration of Boeckman Creek beneath the new bridge. This additional work can be completed without complete road closures.
