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 this growing community. The improved roadway will add capacity to reduce congestion and meet current and future traffic volumes and will add sidewalks and shoulders to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians to encourage a more active lifestyle. 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 will replace approximately 4,000 linear feet of aging cement pipe with 8-inch diameter PVC pipe at a lower depth, and includes installation of 19 water services, and 3 fire hydrants.

Stage 1 (Part 2) - Road Widening

The planned work for this 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 its on- and off-ramps.  Stage 2 work will take place from west of Magnolia to Graves Avenue, it 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 Design Standards including Non-Motorized Modes of Travel
  • Improve Connectivity to Gillespie Field Cajon Air Center Improvements
