 The river crossing is immediately upstream of the Union Pacific Railroad and California State Route 99 crossings of the San Joaquin River.In 2012, the City of Fresno recommended building a through arch bridge with return arches to transition gracefully to the flanking box girder bridge segments, due to its visual appeal as a signature element along the northern approach to Fresno.However, conceptual drawings in 2016 showed a different arch structure lacking the return arch transitions.
