Construction on the Bradley Road Bridge project over the Salt Creek Wash is set to begin on Monday, August 4. Bradley Road will be fully closed to vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists between Pebble Beach Drive and just south of Rio Vista Drive.
The closure is expected to remain in place for approximately 12 to 14 months as crews construct a new 365-foot bridge across Salt Creek. The full road closure is necessary to safely construct the bridge within the project footprint that is flanked by homes on both ends and in an environmentally sensitive area.
The Salt Creek Trail will remain open during construction, but a segment near Bradley Road will be temporarily detoured through the surrounding neighborhood.
Pre-construction activities will begin this month. the project is expected to be completed in late 2026, pending construction progress and weather conditions.
In addition to improving connectivity, this capital improvement project will improve safety, ensure reliable access during storm events, and eliminate the need for motorists to drive through flowing water. The new bridge will include dedicated bicycle lanes and sidewalks and will allow emergency services to maintain response times in the area during a storm event.
The project is fully funded through a combination of federal, state, county, and local sources, including the City of Menifee’s Quality of Life Measure, Riverside County Flood Control, and Local Transportation Climate Adaptation Program (LTCAP) funding.
