The Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing at Bollinger Canyon Road officially opened to the public on Saturday, July 19, 2025.
The purpose of the Iron Horse Trail Overcrossings Project is:
- To improve safety by eliminating conflicts between pedestrians/bicycles and vehicles;
- Improve vehicular traffic flow by removing the at-grade crossings;
- Eliminate unsafe crossing maneuvers by pedestrians and bicyclists,
- Encourages pedestrian and bicycle usage along the Iron Horse Trail; and
- Increase trail use by nearby schools by improving safety at the Bollinger Canyon Road intersection.
More than 82% of funding for the project came from external sources, including grants from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, MTC’s Transportation for Livable Communities Program and One Bay Area, and the Tri-Valley Transportation Commission; as well as Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s Measure J funding.
