The project included the widening of the McBean Parkway bridge to eight lanes in an effort to improve traffic flow, the addition of a raised landscape median and asphalt improvements, according to a news release.

It also added a dedicated bike path on the bridge to connect the Santa Clara River Trail and the South River Trail, as well as a connection beneath the north side of the bridge to connect the east and west portions of the Santa Clara River Trail.

“The McBean Parkway bridge is one of the most heavily-traveled corridors in the city of Santa Clarita,” said Mayor Laurene Weste. “This project will help reduce congestion on the roadway, and provides a direct link between the South River and Santa Clara River Trails to benefit the many residents who enjoy biking, walking and running along them.”

Attendees can park in the McDonald’s parking lot located on McBean Parkway and walk north across the bridge to the event, city officials said.
