Broadway Bridge Project

Sacramento Broadway Bridge seen from Pioneer Bridge

Both the City of Sacramento and West Sacramento have approved the preliminary design for the Broadway Bridge Project. The new  Sacramento River crossing immediately south of Pioneer Bridge could possibly be completed between 2030 and 2035. The estimated bridge construction cost is currently $278 million, but that will most likely rise as these things do until a contractor is chosen and date is set to begin.
