Boulder Bridge installation to reopen underpass 24/7 by late May

The Boulder City Open Space Board of Trustees convened on March 19, 2025, to discuss updates regarding the underpass closure and the ongoing bridge installation project. The meeting aimed to address community concerns and provide clarity on the timeline for reopening the underpass.

During the meeting, officials confirmed that the underpass is expected to reopen 24 hours a day, seven days a week, once the bridge is installed, anticipated for late May to early June. This reopening is part of a broader trailhead project that will continue after the bridge placement.

Board members raised questions about communication strategies to inform the public about the underpass's status. Officials indicated that they would utilize social media, press releases, and updates on the Boulder Mountain Bike Alliance's platforms to keep the community informed. Additionally, the interactive trail map will reflect the latest closures and openings, ensuring that users have access to real-time information.

One board member expressed support for the bridge project, highlighting its importance for safety, particularly for cyclists who may feel uncomfortable riding on the road. The member acknowledged the long-standing partnership with the county in advancing this project and emphasized the necessity of the bridge for community safety.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to keep the public updated on the project's progress and the underpass's reopening. Further discussions on related topics are expected in future meetings as the project continues to develop.
