The Holly Street Bridge Replacement Project will rebuild the bridge over Whatcom Creek to fix structural deficiencies and ensure safe, reliable passage for decades to come. The new design includes one vehicle lane in each direction, dedicated parking, and separated bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides—making travel safer and more accessible for everyone. This project reflects the City’s commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure while improving connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists.
