The new Mt. Vernon Avenue Bridge (MVAB) opened to traffic on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025 following a public ribbon-cutting ceremony. Learn more about the ribbon cutting event here.
The Mt. Vernon Avenue Bridge project was a complex bridge replacement project that spans over one of the largest rail yards in the region. An iconic structure in San Bernardino, the Mt. Vernon Avenue Bridge is once again connecting communities on the west side of San Bernardino, serving as a vital link for residents, visitors, students, and businesses.

Crews will complete finishing work in the area including landscaping and installation of final bridge lighting expected this fall.

Shop Local and Support The Businesses That Support Your Community

 

 

Until the new bridge opens, we encourage the community to shop local and support the businesses that support your community. When you shop local your tax dollars stay local as well, helping to support the local economy and boost tax revenue within the community.

To launch the “shop local” message, SBCTA created a bilingual (English and Spanish) brochure highlighting local businesses north and south of the former bridge. The brochure was recently distributed door-to-door to 7,000 residents and businesses in the local community and included a directory of more than 50 local businesses, as well as important updates on the status of project construction. The companion piece to the brochure is the interactive project Google Map. In addition to featuring the local businesses, the interactive map also allows businesses the opportunity to promote upcoming deals and specials, highlight services they offer, and more. If you are a business owner and wish to add your business or a special promotion to the interactive map, please contact us at 877-55-SBCTA.
