The eastbound lanes of the new Memorial Drive tunnels opened March 28, allowing for one-way traffic to travel through.

The opening of the westbound lanes has not yet been announced, but all lanes are expected to open by May, according to the March 28 press release from the Memorial Park Conservancy. Stopping and pedestrian travel are prohibited in the tunnels, but in the future, a multimodal commuter trail is expected to be implemented.

The Memorial Park Land Bridge and Prairie project will be completed late this year, according to the release. The land bridge will serve as a connector for the north and south sides of Memorial Park, creating easier travel for users and wildlife.
