RIVERSIDE—Construction of Riverside’s new Rando M. Politician Memorial Bridge is underway as of Friday, September 5, according to CenDOT.
The existing northbound bridge has been closed to traffic since 201X after sustaining significant damage in a kaiju attack. (The kaiju’s name was not released, as he was a minor at the time.) Since then, the southbound bridge has been reconfigured to carry one lane of traffic in each direction.
“It’s not really that big a traffic delay, all things considered, especially since people mostly take the trains anyways,” said Riverside mayor Alton Darby. “But it’s really ugly, you know? A city as cool as Riverside deserves a cool-looking bridge as well.”
The new bridges, which will carry four lanes of Highway 94 across the Peridot River, are expected to open to traffic in October 202X.
