Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Access Improvements

 
http://mtc.ca.gov/our-work/plans-projects/major-regional-projects/richmond-san-rafael-bridge-access-improvements
To reduce congestion on eastbound I-580, the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) is working to convert the bridge's right shoulder to a third freeway lane, and establish a bike/ped path on the north side of I-580, including the upper deck of the bridge. Both initiatives are designed to be four-year pilot projects.
Though the bridge improvements may be temporary, the bike/ped path on the north side of I-580 in Richmond will be permanent and will provide a connection to Pt Molate and EBRPD's bay trail extension.

The project aims to improve traffic operations, reduce traffic congestion, provide efficient and safe bicycle/pedestrian access at the interchanges, and accommodate future traffic volumes on San Pablo Dam Road, by:
  • Replacing and widening the San Pablo Dam Road overcrossing.
  • Relocating McBryde Avenue access along westbound I-80. (WB direction is towards San Francisco).
  • Relocating El Portal Drive access to westbound I-80.
  • Realigning Amador Street to intersect with San Pablo Dam Road further east.
  • Replacing the I-80 pedestrian overcrossing serving Riverside Elementary School and extending it across Amador Street.

Assessment of the project environmental impacts was completed in February 2010 and project design is now underway.
