PASO ROBLES – The County of San Luis Obispo Public Works and Souza Construction, Inc., have started work on a permanent two-lane bridge on Creston Road at Quail Creek (near South El Pomar Road) to replace the existing storm-damaged bridge. The work will require a full closure of Creston Road at South El Pomar Road through Creston Ridge Lane.
A traffic detour will be in place from June 1 through September 4, 2026, with partial closures before and after as needed. The expected detour for most residents and visitors to the area is via El Pomar Drive to Cripple Creek Road. Construction is expected to be completed in winter 2026.
Background – Winter storms in 2023 caused significant damage to the roadway and bridge supports at Quail Creek. Temporary repairs were completed in 2023 to provide continued access across Quail Creek while the County planned and designed a new replacement bridge.
