Hazel Bridge Construction
Here is a picture of the construction on the Hazel Avenue Bridge. Crews were setting the walls and new bridge decking in place. The Hazel Avenue crossing over the American River was closed from Friday June 11 to Monday June 14. When completed, the new bridge will be six lanes instead of the current four lanes. There will also be new sidewalks and bike lanes with barriers from the roadway. Improvements are also being made to the bike trail access to the bridge. This is part of the overall project to widen Hazel Avenue and allow for better traffic flow. Currently over 50,000 vehicles cross the bridge daily. More information can be found at:
