Progress at the Lakeview Avenue Bridge

In the coming weeks, crews will build columns at the new Lakeview Avenue bridge. This is exciting progress, as it marks the "above ground" portion of bridge construction after the conclusion of the first phase of pile driving for the foundation. Keep an eye out for even more progress as we continue to construct this major structure!

Crews will backfill, also known as regrading and compacting dirt, for the middle portion of the bridge, which is anticipated to occur during nighttime hours, tonight, Oct. 24.

Did You Know?

The Lakeview Avenue bridge will remain open throughout daytime construction of the new bridge. Some overnight closures will occur. Work will be completed in stages:

1. Crews are currently building the first half of the new bridge alongside the existing one;
2. Once it's ready, traffic will be shifted onto the new half so the old bridge can be removed;
3. Lastly, the second half of the new bridge will be constructed and connected, creating a new structure for drivers.

The SR-91 (SR-57 to SR-55) Improvement Project will improve 6.6 miles of State Route 91 (SR-91) through Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Placentia and Yorba Linda. The project will improve mobility throughout the corridor, reduce weaving and merging between ramps, and improve on- and off-ramps. The project will reconstruct the La Palma Avenue, Glassell Street, Tustin Avenue and Lakeview Avenue bridges and interchanges with standard lanes, shoulders and sidewalks in each direction.
