City Manager Message

Spring is here, and I am happy to share exciting updates on key projects that will shape Chula Vista’s future.

We recently broke ground on two major initiatives. The Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project will upgrade the temporary structure built in 1994, transforming it into a wider, six-lane bridge between Main Street and Entertainment Circle North. The project also includes widening Main Street with an additional eastbound lane and adding bike paths, pedestrian walkways, and a new traffic signal—improving access to Live Nation’s North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre and Sesame Place San Diego.
