In April 2026, it was reported that the Franklin Bridge over Lost Slough reopened on April 10, 2026, coinciding with the closure of the New Hope Road Bridge, which was undergoing its own replacement project. The 86-year-old bridge on Franklin Boulevard was replaced after maintenance and other necessary repairs forced several temporary closures. According to the CEQA, the replacement bridge included two 12-ft traffic lanes with adjacent 6-ft paved shoulders on both sides. The shoulders were upgraded to provide space for future Class II bike lanes, consistent with the Sacramento County Bicycle Master Plan. The replacement bridge would have a total width of 39 ft and will be horizontally aligned along the existing Franklin Blvd centerline. The total length of the project is expected to be approximately 2,900 ft, including the 520-ft long replacement bridge and roadwork (divided almost evenly between the north and south ends of the bridge) beyond the bridge abutments. The roadwork beyond the bridge abutments will include reconstructing the bridge approaches and shoulders. The bridge is located on Franklin Blvd south of Twin Cities Rd. (County Sign Route E13), in the segment along Franklin Blvd from the San Joaquin county line to the Sacramento urban limits at Sims Road.
