The new Soledad Canyon Road bridge will look like this.

Portions of Soledad Canyon Road in Saugus will be closed Friday, June 23 from 9 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 24 as crews install a new pre-fabricated steel truss pedestrian bridge across the six-lane road.

The bridge will provide access between the Metrolink station on the south side of Soledad and the Villa Metro development north of the road.

This developer project is managed by FivePoint Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Newhall Land with assistance from the City of Santa Clarita.

During the construction period, a full road closure will be required on Soledad Canyon Road from Commuter Way to Golden Oak Road.

A detour will route commuters to Newhall Ranch Road. Electronic message boards will be posted to inform motorists of upcoming closures. During the closure, Villa Metro residents will have full access east of the bridge to their properties.

Following the one-night closure, Soledad Canyon Road near the newly installed bridge may experience one-lane closures for the next two weeks to complete construction of a ramp and sidewalk. Construction will take place between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Residents are asked to be aware of the planned road closure and to plan their routes accordingly.
