Present Land Use
Existing bridge over San Juan Creek (Zoning and General Plan designation not applicable). La Novia Avenue is designated as a Secondary Arterial Roadway.
Document Description
The City of San Juan Capistrano is proposing improvements to the existing La Novia Avenue bridge that spans San Juan Creek. The existing two-lane bridge will be demolished in phases and replaced with a four-lane facility. The three-span bridge will be approximately 260 feet long and 84 feet wide. In addition, to the four travel lanes, the bridge will also include a pedestrian lane and an equestrian lane that will be physically separated from the travel lanes. Driven piles will support foundations for the bridge. Existing concrete lined sloped channel sides will be removed and replaced with earthen channel slopes in front of abutment walls. Deepened abutment walls and foundations below the surface of the channel will provide protection from erosion near the bridge abutments. The design speed for the bridge is 45 mph.
