The Project will replace the existing bridge over Mission Creek, located at 2700 De la Vina Street, between Vernon Road and Alamar Avenue. The new bridge is designed to meet current structural and geometric standards, while minimizing adverse impacts to Mission Creek and the surrounding natural habitat. The Project will incorporate modern safety features including curb extensions, high-visibility crosswalk markings, and rectangular rapid flashing beacons to improve pedestrian safety and access across this busy street. Throughout construction, one-way traffic southbound on De La Vina Street will be maintained.
The existing BCycle station located on the bridge at De La Vina Street and Vernon Road will be removed to accommodate Project construction. Staff and BCycle are working to establish an alternate location.
The new bridge will ensure that the continued route will be structural safe and also improve both pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
