Overview

The project extends the trail south across I-694 and enables residents living in southern Fridley and northern Columbia Heights to reach transit, employment, and commercial areas.

Sectors

An existing Main Street (Anoka County CSAH 102) Bridge did not provide a safe crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists. There was no separation from traffic and only 1.5-foot shoulders. Visibility was limited due to the crown of the bridge and heavy truck use made on-road crossing dangerous.

Bolton & Menk completed a $1.9 million federal aid project consisting of 8,500 feet of shared use trail connecting 44th Avenue to 57th Avenue on the west side of Main Street. A 200-foot prefabricated steel through truss pedestrian bridge spans I-694.

The project provides a connection for pedestrians and bicyclists on Main Street. The project extends the trail south across I-694 and enables residents living in southern Fridley and northern Columbia Heights to reach transit, employment, and commercial areas.
