Update on O.C. Bridges Construction Activity

As part of the O.C. Bridges Project, OCTA is building seven bridges to separate trains from vehicles along the BNSF corridor in Fullerton, Placentia and Anaheim. Completed bridges at Placentia Avenue and Kraemer Boulevard are now open to traffic. Construction continues on five other projects. 

Orangethorpe Avenue Overcrossing 
Orangethorpe Avenue is closed to through traffic until spring 2016, when the bridge is scheduled for completion. Temporary sound blankets have been installed. Pile driving began and will continue until estimated completion in late November. Tree and groundcover removal is ongoing at Chapman Avenue and Orangethorpe Avenue. Chapman Avenue will remain open until early 2015. 

Tustin Avenue/Rose Drive Overcrossing  
The bypass road is being paved and striped and equipped with traffic signals, and is awaiting BNSF signal activation. In addition, property tie-ins within Del Cerro Mobile Estates have been completed.

Lakeview Avenue Overcrossing
Construction continues at Lakeview Avenue with ongoing sewer, water line and AT&T utility relocations. 

At the State College Boulevard and Raymond Avenue undercrossings, utility relocations are ongoing.
