Menifee市 Bradley Road「自由桥」建成通车:Salt Creek 汛期不必再涉水过路

Menifee 市连接市中心与 Sun City 的 Bradley Road 已重新通车:横跨 Salt Creek 的新桥建成启用,并被命名为「自由桥」(Freedom Bridge)。过去每逢降雨,车辆只能从溪流水面涉水通过或绕行;市政府介绍,这座 365 英尺长的新桥投入逾 1,600 万美元、由联邦与地方等多个来源共同出资,设有自行车道与人行道,汛期可保持南北向通行,也让警车、消防车响应更快。市政府提醒,冬雨季将至,新桥正是为了让居民在风暴天也能安全出行。 (资料来源:Menifee 市政府新闻稿、Inland News Today 报道)
Menifee's Bradley Road 'Freedom Bridge' Opens Over Salt Creek, Ending Wet-Weather Ford Crossings
Menifee's Bradley Road, the link between central Menifee and Sun City, has reopened with the completion of the new bridge over Salt Creek, named the Freedom Bridge. Where motorists once had to drive through moving water at each rainstorm or detour around the wash, the 365-foot bridge — a $16 million-plus project funded by federal, state, county and local sources — now carries two lanes with dedicated bicycle lanes and sidewalks. The city says the bridge keeps the north-south route open during rain events and enables faster response times for police and fire agencies heading into the winter storm season.
