BRADLEY AVENUE / SR 67 INTERCHANGE PROJECT FACT SHEET
Transportation
Overview
The proposed project will replace the existing
two-lane Bradley Avenue overcrossing at
State Route 67 (SR 67) with a six-lane bridge
to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
The compact diamond interchange will
be enhanced with additional lanes and
8-foot shoulders, which will accommodate
bicycles in both directions and sidewalks on
both sides of the road. The project also will
provide additional capacity on the adjacent
freeway ramps to accommodate all turning
movements. The two-lane portion of Bradley
Avenue, east of SR 67 and Mollison Avenue,
east of the bridge, will also be widened to
four lanes as part of this project.
The Need
Bradley Avenue is a major four-lane road in
Pepper Drive-Bostonia, an unincorporated
community in the County of San Diego. This
key transportation corridor connects homes
and businesses throughout East County,
including the cities of El Cajon and Santee,
as well as Gillespie Field. In addition to the
airport itself, Gillespie Field has two business
parks that provide more than 3,000 jobs in
the City of El Cajon and a $110 million boost
to the local economy in direct, indirect and
induced revenues, according to the County
of San Diego.
Bradley Avenue experiences high traffic
volumes and significant congestion in
peak hours at its intersection with SR 67.
The existing two-lane bridge, which was
constructed in 1966, does not meet today’s
minimum vertical clearance requirements.
These conditions hinder future economic
development for the region, including the
proposed redevelopment of Gillespie Field
and surrounding areas.
Project Costs
To date, planning, design, and engineering
for the project have been funded largely by
local funds. Local sources include:TransNet
revenue from the regional half-cent sales tax
for transportation distributed to the county
under the Local Streets & Roads program;
California State Highway Users Tax (gas tax),

(Continued on reverse)
a portion of the state’s 36 cent per gallon
tax on gasoline collected for use on local
transportation projects; and Transportation
Impact Fees (TIF), developer fees paid to the
county to offset development impacts on
local roads. In 2010, the county also received
$400,000 in federal High Priority Projects
Program funding.
Approximately $27.8 million needs to be
identified to move the project forward: $3.8
million for right-of-way acquisition and $24
million for construction.
The county continues to apply for grants,
including the Transportation Improvement
Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER)
grant. The county is actively seeking sources
to fully fund right-of-way acquisition and
construction of the project.
Project Status
The County of San Diego has obtained
environmental clearance and has completed
design plans for the project. Right-of-way
acquisition is currently underway.
