Traveling with kids 🛩👶🚙

We've received reports of slipping near the end of the Colliers Crossing pedestrian bridge deck and are taking action to increase friction. Early next week, crews will apply an additional layer of sealant with a grit additive to help create additional traction in that area.

Thank you to everyone who brought this to our attention. Please use extra caution when crossing the bridge until the improvements are in place.

We appreciate your patience while this work is completed.

--
UPDATE: Work will begin at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 22. The bridge and plaza area will remain closed for the duration of the sealant installation. Alternate route required. We anticipate the work will take one day to complete, the plaza and bridge will reopen once sealant dries.
