Construction began Sept. 21 on the Fenton Parkway Bridge, which will provide vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists with a new crossing in Mission Valley. The bridge is designed to let water flow completely over it during heavy floods.
The bridge will extend Fenton Parkway over the San Diego River to Camino del Rio North. It will include one traffic lane in each direction, bicycle and pedestrian pathways on both sides and a center-turn lane for access to San Diego State University’s Snapdragon Stadium.
The project is intended to improve “multimodal transportation in the area and improve public safety by providing a reliable and direct access route for emergency response personnel,” SDSU officials said in a press release. It will also expand access to the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System Green Line trolley stations at Fenton Parkway and SDSU Mission Valley.
