Upper Guadalupe River
Willow Glen Way bridge

Project description:
The Santa Clara Valley Water District and the City of San José are replacing the existing Willow Glen Way bridge with a longer-span bridge. The new bridge will accommodate channel widening
planned for a future flood protection project, while improving traffic and pedestrian safety.

The bridge replacement is part of the Upper Guadalupe River Flood Protection project, designed to provide fl ood protection from Interstate 280 to Blossom Hill Road. The Upper Guadalupe River Flood Protection Project construction has not yet begun due to a lack of federal funding. The bridge replacement is possible now due to a federal highway grant.
