“Spring” Bridge Design Chosen

New crossing over the Sacramento River

A new bridge will soon connect the cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento over the Sacramento River. The $210 million “Spring” bridge will carry automobile, bicycle, transit, and pedestrian traffic. The current “I” Street bridge was to narrow to serve buses and the did not have bicycle lanes. The current “I” Street bridge will continue to serve rail crossing on the lower deck but the upper deck is being planned for use by pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The architect is Noel Shamble of San Francisco-based T.Y. Lin International Group.

$158 million has been identified from state and local funding, the remaining amount will be paid for  from a variety of local, state and federal sources. Construction will start in 2021 and open in 2024.
