World Trade expansion delayed to July 2027 as easements and coordination proceed
Summary
Bridge staff said easement approvals were obtained and construction for the World Trade Bridge expansion was rescheduled for July 2027 to align with toll-rate timing; Mexican counterparts expect to start in January 2027.
Staff updated the committee on the World Trade Bridge expansion, reporting that council-approved easements will allow relocation of irrigation and light poles and that an agreement with GSA and other partners is in place. Because toll-rate changes are set to take effect in January, staff adjusted the local construction timeline to July 2027 to coordinate schedules and funding.
Staff said Mexican counterparts anticipate beginning construction in January 2027 and that the city will continue work on right-of-way documentation and real-estate agreements, including a proposed land donation and consultant coordination to support relocation and construction planning.
