Skanska was recently awarded two projects by the County of Riverside Transportation Department: the $59-million Mission Boulevard Bridge Replacement Project in Jurupa Valley and the $107-million Mid County Parkway Ramona Expressway Project in San Jacinto.

The Mission Boulevard Bridge over the Santa Ana River supports regional mobility, safety, and improved access for Riverside County residents and travelers. Construction of the new bridge will include Mission style architecture with a parabolic soffit and raising the bridge 4-6 feet to maintain modern safety and flood standards.

“Being awarded the Mission Boulevard Bridge Replacement project is another opportunity for Skanska to partner with the County of Riverside Transportation Department to deliver safe, resilient infrastructure that supports regional mobility and sustainability,” said James Bailey, EVP of Skanska USA Civil’s West Coast operations. 

Currently limited to one lane in each direction, the bid-build Mid County Parkway project will widen eight miles of the eastbound Ramona Expressway to improve safety and reduce congestion. The completed project will enhance economic opportunities in the region, lessen travel times and improve access to employment, education, and multiple transportation options throughout the San Jacinto region, according to Skanska.
