Construction Updates
The Plex is constantly growing, and with that growth comes ongoing construction and improvements throughout the area. From new businesses and expanded spaces to parking updates and infrastructure projects, there’s always something happening as we continue building a better experience for visitors, tenants, and the community. Check this page regularly for the latest construction updates, project timelines, and important information about what’s coming next at The Plex.
Pedestrian Bridge Project Update
Construction on the new pedestrian bridge at The Plex continues to move forward. All bridge foundations have been completed with the exception of the two arch piers, which are anticipated to be finished by the end of June. Bridge decking formwork has also begun on the east side of Middle Road as crews continue making progress toward key project milestones.
The bridge arch is currently expected to be delivered during the week of July 13–17. To allow for the installation of the arch and bridge deck panels over Middle Road, full interchange closures are planned for July 21–23 and again July 28–31. These temporary closures are necessary to safely complete this critical phase of construction.
Additional details and traffic information will be shared as closure dates approach.
The pedestrian bridge project remains on track for completion sometime this fall.
I-80 & Middle Road Construction Update
Construction on the I-80 interchange improvements continues to make progress, with the eastbound on-ramp now open and available to traffic.
Visitors to The Plex and surrounding businesses should be aware that Middle Road north of I-80 is currently closed to through traffic and is expected to remain closed into the fall as crews complete a major infrastructure improvement project. Detour routes are in place, and access to The Plex remains available through alternate routes.
While this work may create temporary traffic adjustments, these improvements are an important part of enhancing access, traffic flow, and infrastructure throughout the area.
Additional updates and traffic information will be shared as construction progresses. We appreciate your patience as these improvements move forward.
Middle Road Recreational Trail
Work is moving forward on the Middle Road Recreational Trail extension between Forest Grove Drive and Hopewell Avenue. Construction is expected to begin later this summer and be completed this fall, creating an improved connection for pedestrians and cyclists traveling throughout The Plex area.
As part of the project, temporary traffic impacts will occur along portions of Middle Road during construction. A short-term road closure is planned to allow for infrastructure improvements, with traffic being detoured around the work zone. Every effort will be made to minimize disruptions and maintain access to nearby businesses, attractions, and facilities.
Additional updates and traffic information will be shared as construction schedules are finalized. We appreciate your patience as these improvements help enhance connectivity and accessibility throughout The Plex district.
