Carmen Road Bridge
The above renderings are for illustrative purposes only and not representative of an actual design. The final bridge design will be informed by community feedback, available funding, and engineering considerations.
Project Overview
The Carmen Road Bridge would continue the existing alignment of Carmen Road across Stevens Creek Boulevard, allowing for easy and safe access to and from residences, schools, parks, and recreation centers. It also would create a safer bicycle and walking route to Stevens Creek Elementary School, and provide an alternate crossing to get to Kennedy Middle School and Monta Vista High School.
