Environmental Assessment No. EA-75 Murrrieta Creek Crossing (the Via Montezuma temporary low-flow crossing and the Overland Drive Extension permanent crossing)

The project consists of the installation and operation of shorter term temporary and ultimate permanent creek crossing between Winchester and Rancho California Roads. The temporary crossing will be a low flow road crossing at the extension of Via Montezuma between Del Rio and Diaz Roads. The permanent crossing will consist of the bridge and adjacent roadway for Overland Drive Commerce Center Drive to Diaz Road. The temporary crossing will consist of a low-flow roadway crossing that is approximately 700 feet in length and will vary in width from 28 to 40 feet. The ultimate crossing, the Overland Drive Extension, will consist of about 1,200 feet of roadway (including a 600 foot long bridge). The project includes a road surface that will be 56 feet wide (curb-to-curb) and will include sidewalks and bike lanes. The permanent project may include some limited street widening between Jefferson Avenue and Commerce Center Drive.
