Construction is now in process for the Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. This closure is necessary to safely complete significant infrastructure improvements to the bridge and the surrounding roadway.

The closure will affect only the bridge. Access to homes and properties along Golden Avenue will not be affected, and local access will remain available throughout the project duration.

Location: Golden Avenue Bridge

Detour Routes: Valencia Avenue, McCormack Lane, Bastanchury Road, and Rose Drive

Schedule Note: Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other operational factors.

This project will modernize the existing bridge and includes the addition of two 12-foot vehicular lanes, new sidewalks, bike lanes, a striped median center, hand railings, and comprehensive grading, drainage, utility, and roadway improvements, resulting in safer and more efficient travel for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

For additional information, contact Gabriel Guerrero-Gabany at (714) 993-8250 or gguerrero-gabany@placentia.org.

The City appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as we invest in critical infrastructure improvements that will benefit Placentia for generations to come.
