Temescal Canyon Bridge and Road Realignment Project

Document Description: The City of Lake Elsinore, in coordination with Caltrans, is proposing to construct a new bridge over Temescal Wash in the City of Lake Elsinore, CA. There are two segments to the project which are as follows: Segment A includes the segment of roadway from 200 feet north of the proposed bridge to the existing 2-lane Temescale Canyon Road and would be built using local funds. Segment B includes the 4-lane, 375 foot long bridge and approx. 200 feet of the roadway, northwest of the bridge and 130 feet southeast of the bridge to be constructed using IIBP (federal) and local funding. The new bridge will connect to a 696 foot long realigned roadway that will extend from 200 feet south of the bridge to Lake Street approx. 180 feet south of the current intersection. The proposed bridge is 98 feet wide (with a curb to curb width of 80 feet), 375 feet long, and a structure depth of 5 feet. The project would include drainage improvements within Temescal Wash. The approx. total construction area of the project is 6.27 acres with an impervious area of approx. 3.0 acres (proposed roadway pavement, bridge, and concrete slope protection near the bridge abutment).
