8:10am | Construction crews will completely close the Valley View Street Bridge off of the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) Friday night and reopen it Monday morning as part of the Orange County Transportation Authority’s West County Connectors Project.
The closure will begin at 10:00pm, Friday, November 18, and the bridge is expected to re-open at 5:00am in time for the morning commute Monday, November 21. The closure will be postponed and rescheduled to the first weekend in December if it rains this weekend.
The following will be closed to traffic:
- Valley View Street between Old Bolsa Chica Road and Tiffany Avenue;
- Garden Grove Boulevard between Valley View Street to the northbound San Diego Freeway (I-405) Valley View Street off-ramp;
- and Westbound SR-22 Valley View Street loop and straight on-ramps.
Detour signs will be posted and the suggested route is as follows:
- From northbound Valley View Street/Bolsa Chica Road, use Westminster Avenue.
- From southbound Valley View Street, use Lampson Avenue.
This full 55-hour closure is a pertinent part of the Valley View Street Bridge reconstruction. The switch is necessary as crews prepare to demolish and reconstruct the west half of the Valley View Street Bridge. Demolition is tentatively scheduled for early December.
Detailed detours for all closures and project information is available at www.octa.net/westcounty.
