4th Avenue Underpass Celebration

Presented by 4th Avenue Merchants Association at 4th Avenue Historic Shopping District

August 20, 2009

The 4th Avenue Underpass - a major artery connecting the University of Arizona, Fourth Avenue and area neighborhoods with Downtown - will open soon. A big celebration is being planned by the various community organizations so save the date! This is a party you won't want to miss. Tucson is invited to share in the excitement of this revitalization project. The celebration kicks off at 4:00pm with a ribbon cutting ceremony featuring Tucson Mayor Bob Walkup, City Council members, city leaders and other dignitaries. Special plans include officially opening the underpass by having the Old Pueblo trolley burst through the ribbon. The underpass will be closed during the official ceremony, but will be opened to pedestrian, vehicular and trolley traffic once those activities wrap up. The trolley will be running all evening, offering rides from University of Arizona's Main Gate, along 4th Avenue and into Downtown. The fun continues through the night with live music at several venues, activities in Downtown and on 4th Avenue and merchant specials on both sides of the underpass. It's the perfect time to visit your favorite businesses and venues! This event takes place on 4th Avenue and 9th Street.
