You want to follow a trail. The design of the Elk Grove
Creek Trail Crossing was infl uenced by the existing trail
space topography at the site, as well as an existing Federal
Emergency Management Agency 100-year fl oodplain
on one side of the freeway. The approach landing areas
on either side of the new bridge also were designed as a
switchback system to provide through movements needed
for the existing trail system, along with the new connections
provided to local streets parallel and on both sides of
the freeway that also pass beneath the new bridge.
