Brosterhous Accessibility Project Update – June 30, 2022

During the first school year at Caldera High School, pedestrians and bicyclists used the northbound lane of Brosterhous Road for safe access through the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad undercrossing. At the end of the school year, the northbound lane of Brosterhous Road was re-opened to vehicle traffic.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Upcoming Work

Flashing beacons and associated signage will be installed this summer for the crosswalks at SE Orchard Grass Place and The Pines West entrance. Flaggers will direct traffic for this work.

Final Phase

Construction of the sidewalk under the railroad undercrossing is anticipated to occur later this year. We are working with BNSF Railroad to schedule the final phase of construction. This construction will require the closure of the northbound lane of Brosterhous Road at the railroad undercrossing.
