PROJECT OVERVIEW

On June 2, 2025, construction will begin on the Notre Dame Boulevard Bridge, a project that will significantly improve connectivity over Little Chico Creek.

The new bridge will connect the existing sections of Notre Dame Boulevard, including two vehicle travel lanes separated by a center median, bike lanes in each direction, a sidewalk on the west side, and a multi-use path on the east side. Construction is anticipated to be complete in early 2026.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION

  • Construction is anticipated to be completed between June 2025 and early 2026.

  • Construction activity will generally take place Monday-Friday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., with possible weekend and night work.  

  • Traffic on existing sections of Notre Dame Boulevard will not be impacted during construction.

  • Access to properties near the bridge construction area will always be maintained.

  • Work will include excavation and pile driving, which will cause a temporary increase in noise.

  • On the southern bank of Little Chico Creek, a portion of the existing bike path will be removed and realigned with the new bridge.

  • The bridge will tie into the existing curb, gutter and sidewalks on the north and south portions of Notre Dame Boulevard.

  • Work within Little Chico Creek, a seasonal creek, will take place during summer months when the channel is naturally dry.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Notre Dame Boulevard Bridge will be a three-span structure, approximately 100 feet long and 56 feet wide. The structure is cast-in-place, reinforced concrete bridge. In addition to the bridge, the existing bike path on the south side of Little Chico Creek will be re-routed to a new bridge under-crossing and connect to the multi-use path crossing the bridge.

The City of Chico completed a vigorous review process as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. All project environmental documents are available here.
