Massive New Bridge Over I-215 Freeway In Menifee: Latest Update

MENIFEE, CA — Construction along Interstate 215 in Menifee is ramping up, but one project is close to finishing.

Construction of the new Holland Road freeway overpass is expected to wrap up late this summer. The four-lane, 31-foot bridge with sidewalks and bike lanes over I-215 is located between Haun Road and Hanover Lane in Menifee.

This week, the city announced a construction milestone for the project: over a million pounds of rebar are in place, and 85 concrete trucks have poured the bridge's lanes.

The $35 million overpass is designed to ease east/west traffic flow in the city. It is situated between the Newport Road and Scott Road overpasses, which are currently the only other I-215 crossings in the city.

The bridge's construction began when Menifee officials held a groundbreaking ceremony on Dec. 5, 2022. At the time, dignitaries said the overpass would be a key regional connection relieving congestion for both Menifee residents and motorists countywide.

The project includes extending Holland Road on the west side of the freeway, realigning Willowood Lane, and carving out a new cul-de-sac at Dutch Circle.

The project contractor is Riverside Construction Company, Inc.
