Jerónimo Trail bridge likely to be removed; temporary access options under review

Aug 11, 2026

Public Works reported the bridge at Jerónimo Trail will likely be taken out and a temporary roadway built after border-related access is no longer available; staff will return with design and funding options.

Jason Fosseo told the board that the Jerónimo Trail guardrail and nearby bridge are in a compromised state; temporary chain-link fencing was installed earlier and emergency fixes were implemented to protect a residence below the site. He said options under consideration include rebuilding the bridge, installing a low-water crossing or collapsing the existing structure and creating a temporary driving surface to restore access.
