Current Phase: Complete
Construction Percent Complete: 100%
Construction Start Date: January 15, 2024

Project Description: Believed to be built in the 1960s, the West Fillmore Bridge is a 48” diameter Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) located just west of Coronado High School (25 feet below roadway). The structure is at the end of its service life and requires replacement. The replacement approach is to bore and jack a new pipe under the roadway due to the depth of the culvert under the roadway and the roadway’s classification. The proposed crossing is planned to accommodate future widening of Fillmore Street by designing culvert ends that can be easily extended.
