The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), in coordination with Metrolink, is replacing the railroad bridge over San Juan Creek. The project will enhance safety and reduce maintenance needs by meeting current design and bridge load standards.
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 rail weight load requirements. A new bridge will be constructed west of the existing bridge. A new bridge will be constructed adjacent to the existing bridge. The existing bridge will be demolished, and a new foundation and substructure will be installed for a potential future bridge. There are no plans to construct a second bridge but because there may be a need, a foundation and substructure for a bridge will be constructed.
Funding
The total Project cost is estimated at $65.6 million. The Project is funded by Measure M local sales tax dollars for transportation improvements administered by OCTA (also known as OC Go), as well as state and federal funds.
