The Golden Valley Road interchange is part of the City’s eight-and-a-half mile Cross Valley Connector Road, the majority of which are six lanes. The flyover bridge starts south of Golden Triangle Road and will span the railroad tracks and Soledad Canyon Road, connecting with Valley Center Drive.

"The City is very pleased to be able to complete six full lanes on the bridge. This will prevent further construction inconvenience later on and maximize the capacity for the roadway," commented Ken Pulskamp, City Manager.

The flyover bridge, which includes an innovative Aesthetics Plan, is 380-feet long. The Aesthetics Plan is a creative way to use landscape, art, and materials to beautify this road and bridge project.

"While major road projects can be viewed as dividing communities, the Aesthetics Plan will provide the City with the opportunity to design the Connector road and bridge in such a way as to make the road a unifying connection among the various communities within the Santa Clarita Valley," commented Robert Newman, the City’s Director of Building and Engineering Services.

The Golden Valley Road interchange over Soledad Canyon Road is also designed to provide safe, unobstructed access across the Metrolink railroad tracks.

The Cross Valley Connector is the City's plan to ease traffic and is achieved by the seamless connection of Newhall Ranch Road and Golden Valley Road. The Connector will provide additional travel options from Valencia to Canyon Country and a direct connection between the I-5/SR-126 on the westside of the City to the SR-14/Golden Valley Interchange on the east. This eight-and-a-half mile, $245 million road will provide a new way to travel across our Valley, while providing an alternative to Soledad Canyon Road, easing traffic congestion valley-wide.
