This construction is part of the Rail Trial Project. The pedestrian underpass will be replaced with a new bridge and crossing ramp, allowing walkers to stay at ground-level as they cross into downtown. The updates also include an interactive neon tumbleweed art piece that lights up at night. Construction is expected to last for the next ten months.
