I-880 Pacific Commons Bridge

Fremont, California

Adjacent to the City of Fremont’s Innovation District, the Interstate 880 (I-880) Bike and Pedestrian Bridge Trail Project (Project) will be a vital link between the commercial retail, light industrial, recreational, and transit-oriented office, residential, and commercial developments on the east and west sides of the freeway. The Project will provide cyclists and pedestrians with a safer way to cross over I-880 and avoid the busy freeway interchange at Auto Mall Parkway. On the east side of I-880, the Project will link to the Class IV separated bikeways proposed for Grimmer Boulevard and connect to the Warm Springs/South Fremont BART Station. On the west side of I-880, the Project will terminate adjacent to the Pacific Commons Shopping Center and the Fremont Technology Business Center (FTBC), and link to the bike and pedestrian network proposed in the FTBC to connect to the Bay Trail.

For the Scoping Study completed in 2019, SGA developed and assessed overcrossing alignments and designs for cable-stayed, arch, and suspension alternatives for a new, iconic bicycle and pedestrian bridge over I-880. Additionally, SGA developed and assessed various alignments for new bike/ped facilities on Hannover Place and Brandin Court on the east and west sides of the freeway, respectively. In the PID Phase, SGA is developing and assessing additional alignment alternatives for the Caltrans Project Initiation Document.
