About the Keystone Bridge Replacement Project: The objective of the Keystone Bridge Replacement is to provide a structurally sound Keystone Avenue bridge over the Truckee River in Reno, Nevada, and improve mobility options in the corridor surrounding the bridge, approximately from California Avenue to West 1st Street. The initial phase and design for the replacement of the Keystone Bridge is federally funded by the Federal Bridge Formula Program (BFP). Additional funding will be required to cover improvement beyond the limits of bridge funding.
