Project Overview

OCTA, in coordination with Metrolink, is replacing the railroad bridge over San Juan Creek in the City of San Juan Capistrano to enhance safety, reduce maintenance needs and meet current design and bridge load standards. The existing bridge will be demolished, and a new foundation and substructure will be constructed in its place for a potential future bridge. San Juan Creek is home to environmentally sensitive wildlife and habitat and the area is difficult to access for construction, so if a future need arises for a second bridge the supporting infrastructure is in place.
