Moreno Beach Drive Bridge Project
The project replaces damaged pavement, provides enhanced safety improvements to the fifty–year–old Caltrans bridge, relieves traffic congestion around the freeway interchange, and installs needed underground storm drain facilities to mitigate flooding. The Moreno Beach Drive project will replace a two-lane bridge with a seven-lane bridge and reconfigure the north side of the interchange to allow easier access to and from the freeway. Improvements include a new westbound auxiliary lane, as well as a dedicated southbound Moreno Beach Drive to westbound State Route 60 on-ramp.
There may be short periods when lanes or ramps are closed. Detours and access for pedestrians and bicyclists will be available. Properties and businesses will have consistent access. The State Route 60/Moreno Beach Drive on/off ramps will be closed for several days to expedite construction and provide a safe work environment. The City will provide advanced notice for all closures. The Contractor, Spectrum Construction Group Inc., expects bridge construction to be completed by early 2023.
