Friends of the Grand Connection is a grass-roots group of community members, businesses and organizational partners who came together in 2023 to support the development of a landmark bike/pedestrian bridge and linear park from downtown Bellevue, across I-405, to the Wilburton District and Eastrail. The Grand Connection Crossing, targeted for completion in late 2029, will provide the only I-405 crossing in Bellevue dedicated for use by pedestrians and cyclists, vastly increasing safety and improving the mobility experience of residents and visitors alike.
