State Route 168 Enterprise Canal Pedestrian Overcrossing Project
Project Description
The project proposes to provide a bicycle/pedestrian bridge spanning State Route 168 to provide direct bicyclist and pedestrian access to the Clovis Community Hospital complex. Currently, two alignment options are offered based on three bridge type options; the proposed project limits and conditions remain similar between the three proposed bridge types. The proposed bridge would be approximately 18 feet wide and 460 feet long, providing a minimum vertical clearance of 18.5 feet, with a combined approach length of approximately 1,100 feet north and south of the proposed bridge. The approaches may consist of embankment fill, retaining walls, and approach structures.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide bicyclists and pedestrians with a safe and continuous path of travel along the Enterprise Canal Trail over State Route 168. In the short term, the proposed project would extend the existing Enterprise Canal Trail at Owens Mountain Parkway over State Route 168, providing direct access to the Clovis Community Hospital complex.
Need
Long term, this connection over State Route 168 would provide a critical link for all bicyclists and pedestrians using the overall Enterprise Canal Trail system. It would also provide access to the future Sierra Gateway Trail System leading to northeast Clovis.
