SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - The Sacramento County Department of Transportation announced that it is replacing the New Hope Road Bridge at Grizzly Slough. The project is expected to last until December 2026.

The construction will demolish and replace New Hope Road Bridge, including grading and paving of approach roadways approximately 400 feet on either side of New Hope Road Bridge. The construction will also provide rock slope protection along with embankment and shoulder grading.

Traffic will be directed to use alternate routes during the closure period, and access will be maintained for local traffic only.

New Hope Road will close from Orr Road to West New Hope Road between April 10 and Nov. 30. Access will be maintained for residents during construction. The reconstruction cost for New Hope Road bridge is $4,536,070 and is funded by the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and Sacramento County Road Fund.

Travelers are asked to follow all posted signs during the detour. The Sacramento County Department of Transportation appreciates the public’s patience as we work to complete this important project.

Eastbound traffic will be rerouted north on North Thornton Road, then Franklin Boulevard, east on Twin Cities Road, south on Christensen Road and west on New Hope Road.
