The closure is part of the Indian Canyon Bridge Project that includes widening the bridge over Union Pacific Railroad tracks and improving the road immediately south of Garnet Avenue. The new six-lane Indian Canyon bridge will include a railed pedestrian sidewalk, enhancing safety and accessibility, according to the city.

The city expects project construction to continue through December 2025.
