River Road Bridge Replacement - Eastvale/Norco/Corona

The River Road Bridge is located at the westerly boundaries of the cities of Corona & Norco, and crosses over the Santa Ana River into the newly developing community of Eastvale. In March of 1995, the bridge (built back in the 30’s), sustained significant damage during a large storm event, and was determined by Caltrans Office of Structure Maintenance to be functionally obsolete and deficient. Transportation’s determination allowed the County to secure Federal funds for the replacement of the existing bridge, and to begin the very long environmental process required to cross over a major waterway, and determine the replacement alternatives as required by Federal regulations. In December of last year the County was given the environmental clearances to begin the design engineering for the project.
