Limonite Gap Bridge Now Open
The Limonite Gap Bridge is officially open!
This bridge is more than just a new roadway—it’s a vital addition to our region, designed to enhance access and reduce travel time for residents. Thank you to CTC for allocating $9.475 million from the Local Partnership Program, WRCOG for providing a total of $10 million in Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) funding, and RCTC for approving $13.5 million in Measure A Regional Arterial funds for this project.
These funds have helped us extend Limonite Avenue from Archibald Avenue to Hellman Avenue. The project also features pedestrian enhancements, including Class I bicycle paths and pedestrian sidewalks.
