| Crews work to complete the new shared use path along the south side of Bruning Avenue, near the intersection with E. 53rd Street. |
Construction on the Airport Boulevard corridor from 45th Street to 55th Street has been making steady progress, and we’re excited to share the latest updates with you.
What’s been happening
-
Crews are currently building the shared-use path on the south side of Bruning Avenue, from Middle Fiskville Road (near the railroad tracks) to Airport Boulevard.
-
Conduit installation across Airport at 55th Street for the new pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) is underway. Only work in the bike lane on the east side of Airport remains.
Coming up next
-
Crews will complete the shared-use path between Bruning Avenue and 51st Street.
-
Once crews are cleared to begin the next phase of work near the rail tracks, traffic on Bruning Avenue between Airport Boulevard and Middle Fiskville Road will shift to one-way for a short period. This change will allow crews to repave Bruning Avenue between Airport Boulevard and Middle Fiskville Road, which is expected to take about a week and a half.
-
Crews will install mountable curbs at Lamme’s Candy (5330 Airport Blvd.) along the edge of the shared-use path.
-
Crews will build a new bus stop in the coming weeks at the southwest corner of Airport Boulevard and Bruning Avenue.
Project status & timeline
-
The project is now about 80% complete.
-
Substantial completion is currently estimated for mid-October 2025, though this date may shift depending on weather and other factors.
Once finished, this project will deliver upgrades to pedestrian signals at Bruning Avenue, 45th Street, and 51st Street, a new pedestrian hybrid beacon at 55th Street, improvements at Bruning Avenue in partnership with Transportation & Public Works, and expanded pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure throughout the corridor.
Thank you for your patience as we continue this important work. These improvements are designed to make Airport Boulevard safer, more accessible, and easier to navigate for everyone — whether you’re walking, biking, riding transit, or driving.
