Project Overview

The International Parkway Bridge Reconstruction and Expansion Project, over the San Luis Delta‑Mendota Canal, will replace an aging two‑lane crossing with a wider road built for how the Park of Commerce has grown.

  • Roadway capacity increases from 2 lanes to 5 lanes
  • Dedicated bike and pedestrian facilities
  • Traffic signal upgrades and new street lighting
  • Landscape improvements along the corridor
  • Improved access roads and driveways for the Delta‑Mendota Canal

The project is sized for future traffic growth and regional connectivity, not just today's demand.

 

Project Location

International Parkway crosses the canal at the center of the Park of Commerce, linking the corridor to the wider road network between I‑205 and I‑580.

Construction Approach & Status

The project was originally designed as a three‑phase build, staged to keep International Parkway open throughout construction. The team moved to a single‑phase approach for demolition and construction instead, closing the road and directing traffic to a detour supported by a traffic study.

Moving to a single phase enhances traffic operations at current levels, minimizes delays, and improves safety for road users and construction workers. Cost savings come from reduced time‑related overhead and streamlined mobilization — helping protect the EDA grant's April 2027 deadline.

Where things stand

The western half of the new bridge deck is complete. The contractor has finished demolishing the existing bridge, and the deep foundations for the eastern span — cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) piles — are in and currently curing ahead of the bridge structure work to follow. At the same time as that eastern span work, underground utilities, grading, sidewalks, and curb and gutter will start taking shape across the site.
