Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (L.A. Metro) announced this week the opening of the new Rosecrans Avenue Bridge in Santa Fe Springs, California.
The $156 million bridge project was part of the L.A. Metro Rosecrans/Marquardt Grade Separation project. The new bridge fixes an grade crossing area that the California Public Utilities Commission identified as one of the most dangerous rail crossings in California, L.A. Metro officials said in a news release.
"This new bridge will provide the much-needed safety and traffic relief that residents and businesses in the area require,” said L.A. Mayor and Metro Chair Karen Bass. "As major rail projects like high-speed rail make their way to Los Angeles, we must be sure that our county is ready for a transportation future that is safer, faster and more reliable."
While the entire project is expected to be finished in 2025, additions may include future bike lanes in each direction while crews continue adding new sidewalks and pavement to Marquardt Avenue, Frontage Road and Anson Avenue. Construction crews will also continue to install utility lines, landscaping, signage and striping, and complete parking lot improvements.
