The City of Fort Collins wants to build an overpass where Timberline Road crosses the railroad tracks near Vine Drive. Right now, the road and the tracks meet at the same level, or “at grade.” An overpass would raise the road above the tracks so trains and traffic no longer cross paths.

The overpass will be a key part of the future street grid of Northeast Fort Collins. Along with future extensions of Suniga Road and Turnberry Road and a future expansion of Mountain Vista Drive, Timberline Road will be a primary thoroughfare between future development north of Vine and the rest of the city.

The City is working with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) and Great Western Railway (GWR) on this project.

This project would:

  • Make the crossing safer for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians
  • Improve traffic flow and travel times
  • Create safer routes for people to walk, bike or take transit
  • Carry out the goals the City has already set in its transportation plans
