Thank you for your interest in the Murphy Corridor Improvements Project.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) has approved the 100% bridge design. The next step will be BNSF’s approval of the bridge maintenance agreement. Bridge construction is expected to begin in October 2020.

The entire Murphy Corridor Improvements Project is on schedule to be completed by Summer 2021.

Modernization improvement work between Brosterhous Road and Country Club Drive began the week of April 6 and is expected to be completed by the end of August.
