Congratulations to Merced County on the successful replacement of the Burchell Avenue Bridge. CCME is proud to be part of the driven team that made this project possible. Located just northwest of Le Grand, the new bridge provides a reliable crossing over Duck Slough/Mariposa Creek and strengthens the vital link between the Planada and Le Grand communities. Replacing the original 1945 structure, the new bridge is built to modern standards and designed to provide a safer route for residents, farmers, and emergency services who depend on it every day.
