Project Updates: Construction on Bradley Avenue is approximately 40% complete as of November 2025.  For any construction related questions or concerns, please contact us at: dpw-pod@sdcounty.ca.gov. We will try to respond to your inquiry within 24 hours.

Construction Schedule 

Stage 1 (Part 1) - Waterline Replacement:  the Helix Water District underground water pipeline was relocated by SRK Construction during 2024 and 2025 to allow Bradley Avenue to be widened. 

Stage 1 (Part 2) - Road Widening: Construction of the road widening is being completed by the County of San Diego’s contractor, Hazard Construction.  Construction began in May 2025 and is expected to be completed in Spring 2027.  The Road Widening is anticipated to be completed from west to east in the following sequence:

Between Graves Avenue and Terraza Hills Apartments, on the south side

  • March 2025 – October 2025

Between Terraza Hills Apartments and Mollison Avenue, on the south side

  • October 2025 – January 2026

Between Graves Avenue and Terraza Hills Apartments on the north side.

  • February 2026 – July 2026

Between Burnet Street and Mollison Avenue, on the north side

  • July 2026 – April 2027

Stage 2 – Bridge Replacement:  construction of the bridge replacement will be completed by Caltrans’ contractor using a design concept that was developed by County of San Diego engineers.  Construction of the new bridge is expected to begin during the Summer 2027 and should be completed early 2029. Construction is planned to be sequenced to allow traffic flow in both directions throughout the entire project. Details of constrution sequencing will be published when available.

Project Description

The proposed project will widen Bradley Avenue from west of Magnolia Avenue to east of Mollison Avenue, including replacing the bridge over State Route 67. The existing freeway interchange and roadway were built over 50 years ago and can no longer accommodate the traffic demands or provide for the multi-modal needs of the surrounding communities. The improved roadway will add capacity to reduce congestion and meet current and future traffic volumes; meet current and future traffic volumes; and add sidewalks and shoulders to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians to support active community members.. To learn more please view the project fact sheet.

The Project has been divided into three stages of construction to streamline development and minimize impacts for the public:

Stage 1 (Part 1) - Waterline Replacement 

This stage replaced approximately 4,000 linear feet of the Helix Water District's aging cement pipe with an 8-inch diameter PVC pipe at a lower depth, and included the installation of (19) water services, and (3) fire hydrants. This work was completed during early 2025 by SRK Construction.

Stage 1 (Part 2) - Road Widening

The stage includes increasing the number of travel lanes from two to four lanes, adding a dedicated center median; upgrading the old storm drain system; and providing continuous dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Stage 2 – Bridge Replacement

This stage includes the replacement of the narrow bridge over SR-67 and upgrading the on- and off-ramps of SR-67.  Stage 2 work will take place from west of Magnolia to Graves Avenue, and includes the portions of the project that are primarily within the State of California public right-of-way under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation.

Project Cost

The estimated total project cost for both phases is approximately $59 million and is funded primarily with TransNet (sales tax) funds and other local and federal dollars.

Project Objectives 

  • reduce congestion and improve traffic operations in the area
  • meet the existing and future traffic demands of the road and interchange
  • ensure compliance to current design standards including non-motorized modes of travel
  • improve connectivity between Gillespie Field and the interstate system
