The McKinley Street Grade Separation Project is set to improve how you travel through McKinley Street.

Currently, traffic is stopped 2 hours and 35 minutes cumulatively every day while the gate is down for passing trains. This number is expected to increase to 4 hours and 20 minutes by the year 2035.
The McKinley Street Grade Separation Project will build a suspension bridge to elevate McKinley Street over the BNSF railroad tracks and Arlington Channel. The new bridge will relieve congestion, improve mobility and safety for both motorists and pedestrians, and improve air quality and noise.
Construction activities began in early 2022 with an anticipated completion date in Late Summer/Early Fall 2025.
Construction will extend from the SR-91 interchange on the north side to Magnolia Avenue on the south side.
