Many construction projects are nearing completion around the Santa Clarita Valley, including the widening of the Golden Valley Road Bridge, and one project will be starting in the coming months.

Golden Valley Bridge Widening Project Update

The north side of the Golden Valley Road bridge has been completed.

Traffic along Golden Valley Road bridge at the 14 freeway was shifted from the south side of the existing bridge to the north side of the newly constructed side of the bridge.

One through lane and left-turning lane will remain open in each direction.

At completion, the Golden Valley Road Bridge widening project will add an additional two lanes of travel, one in each direction, for a total of six lanes on the bridge, including two through lanes, a dedicated left turn lane to access the southbound 14 freeway and two left turn lanes to access the northbound 14 freeway.

This project will also add a pedestrian walkway on the north side of the bridge and a bike path on the south side of the bridge.

The project is on schedule and expected to be completed by July of this year.

Lost Canyon Bridge Widening Project Nearing Completion

The Lost Canyon Road Bridge next to the Santa Clara River in Canyon Country is being widened by about 16 feet on the north side and is now in its final stage of construction.

Upon completion, the bridge will have two 4-foot shoulders, two 12-foot travel lanes, and a 10-foot wide multi-use path for a future trail project connecting from Vista Canyon Development to Sand Canyon Road.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of this month.

Circulation And Safety Improvement Program To Begin Next Month

The intersection of Newhall Avenue and Railroad Avenue will have enhancements made to improve pedestrian safety.

Included will be a curb extension that provides more room for pedestrians.

Placement of existing traffic light signals will also be adjusted to accommodate new street improvements, including a drought-tolerant landscaped median along Railroad Avenue.

Construction is set to begin in May.
