Staples have announced they will be conducting a North/South Corridor with Railroad Overpass Project. The project will construct a two-lane north/south collector roadway and a bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and U.S. Highway 10 in Staples. Plans for the project will also include a 10-foot pedestrian/bicycle trail for the whole section of the project area. In October 2010, the city of Staples was awarded a $7.65 million federal TIGER II grant in order to complete construction of the overpass and connecting the roadways. A ceremony will also take place on April 20, 2012 to celebrate the groundbreaking North/South Corridor with Railroad Overpass Project. The ceremony will be located at the project site adjacent to 2nd Avenue at 2:00 p.m. Construction was set to begin on April 16, 2012 and will continue through November 2012.
