This short stretch of Avenida Del Rio over the San Diego River provides access to Fashion Valley mall, and is extremely heavily travelled. During heavy rain events, it often floods, cutting off access to a large number of shoppers.


Common sense dictates that bridges be at the level of the road or higher, but this road actually dips down to the level of the river, guaranteeing that in all but the lightest of rains it will become impassable.

One would think that such a high volume roadway would be high on the list of improvements, but year after year it is allowed to flood out.
