Cold Springs Bridge Completed
Prior to the January 9, 2018, Debris Flow in Montecito, travelers used a low-water crossing on East Mountain Drive at the creek. After the crossing was destroyed during the Debris Flow, a one-lane temporary bridge paid for by Southern California Edison settlement funds was installed in June 2020. Construction on the two-lane permanent bridge - fully funded by the Federal Highway Bridge Program – began in July 2024 and is now complete.
