UPCOMING CEDAR AVENUE CLOSURES FOR

BRIDGE GIRDER INSTALLATION

WHAT’S HAPPENING: Crews are installing large beams, called bridge girders, that will support the deck of the future Cedar Avenue bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). To safely complete this work, temporary overnight closures of Cedar Avenue between Valley Boulevard and Slover Avenue, as well as the eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) I-10 on- and off-ramps at Cedar Avenue, will be required.

WHEN: Girder installation and associated closures are anticipated to take place overnight on the following dates, beginning Sunday afternoon and continuing into Monday morning:

• Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. - COMPLETED
• Sunday, November 8, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
• Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Girder installation will require large construction equipment and trucks to transport, lift, and position the bridge girders. Residents and commuters may notice increased construction activity, additional construction trucks traveling through the area, construction noise, and lighting near the work zone. Please follow posted detour signs and allow extra time when traveling through the area. Work schedules may change based on field conditions.

Crews have completed the first scheduled overnight installation of bridge girders that will support the future Cedar Avenue bridge over the UPRR. This work involves specialized construction equipment and large trucks to safely lift and position the girders. See the section above for details on the remaining scheduled closures.

Construction is also underway near the southeast corner of Cedar Avenue and Orange Street, extending toward the future bridge. Work includes demolition, grading, concrete work and electrical improvements.

During this phase of construction, residents and commuters may notice increased construction activity, additional construction trucks traveling through the area, construction noise, and lighting near the work zone. Please follow posted detour signs and allow extra travel time when traveling through the area. Work schedules may change based on field conditions.

As bridge work continues, traffic on the south side of the project remains shifted to the west side of Cedar Avenue. Drivers traveling north from Slover Avenue and exiting EB I-10 may experience delays, especially during peak commute hours.

The project team continues to evaluate signal timing to help traffic move through the area while prioritizing public safety. Traffic exiting I-10 is given priority to prevent vehicles from backing up onto the freeway. This may mean longer travel times for drivers traveling north on Cedar Avenue. Please plan ahead and allow extra time.

As construction progresses, there will be more opportunities to adjust traffic lanes and improve traffic flow. Crews expect to install the girders for the first half of the bridge before Thanksgiving, marking a major milestone toward completing the first half of the bridge next year.

The I-10/Cedar Avenue Interchange Project is designed to relieve congestion, enhance safety, and improve traffic operations along Cedar Avenue between Bloomington Avenue and Orange Street. The project will widen the I-10 overcrossing and replace the railroad bridge, provide for roadway improvements along Cedar Avenue, and add capacity to the on- and off-ramps from Cedar Avenue to the I-10. During construction activities may include removing and rebuilding of existing and new structures, digging up roads for utility work, pavement and restriping work, installation of new traffic signals, traffic shifts, intermittent lane closures, and ramp closures. Workers and heavy equipment will be present throughout the project corridor and we ask that you allow for extra time to reach your destination as you may experience delays.
