Project Milestone
The Mayor Berwin Hanna Bridge on Hamner Avenue is now OPEN.
The newly constructed 1,200-foot-long, six-lane bridge over the Santa Ana River is now open in both directions. Crews will continue working on the bridge barrier railing, the multipurpose trail, irrigation, landscaping, and other punch list items through early Fall 2024.
Watch for intermittent lane closures and traffic control in the project area.
The western bridge span of the Mayor Berwin Hanna Bridge is OPEN to motorists.
Please Note
There is NO pedestrian access across the bridge in this stage of construction due to safety concerns. Pedestrian access is available on the west side of Hamner Ave. from Schleisman Road to the southern crosswalk at Citrus Street.
Pedestrians must use RTA bus route 3 service for access with stops at Taft Street and Hamner Avenue (northbound), and on Citrus Street west of Hamner Avenue (southbound). Visit riversidetransit.com for information.
Traffic Impacts:
One travel lane in each direction will remain open during construction. However, traffic lanes are subject to close intermittently for public safety due to contractor activities or operations.
Traffic capacity across the bridge is expected to remain unchanged during construction and will increase when both the eastern and western bridge span opens.
