Silverado Canyon Bridge 177 Pipeline Project

Irvine Ranch Water District contractors will be rerouting a water pipeline located on Silverado Canyon Road Bridge 177 (55C-0177). This work will ensure continued water service while the County of Orange replaces the bridge.

Silverado Canyon Road Bridge 177 is located between the western and eastern entrances to Oak Lane.

March to April 2025 (IRWD):

• IRWD contractors will install a temporary water pipeline to maintain water service during the County of Orange’s bridge construction work.

October 2025 to February 2026 (County of Orange):

• The County of Orange will be replacing the southern section* of the bridge. (Contact Orange County Public Works at 714-667-8800 for information on the bridge work.)

March 2026 to April 2026 (IRWD):

• IRWD contractors will install a new pipeline supported by the new bridge. Remaining pipeline will be abandoned or removed.

Bridge traffic will be reduced to one lane during all phases of construction.

• For information on IRWD construction, please email info@IRWD.com or call 949-453-5500.
• For information on the bridge construction, please call the Orange County Public Works Department at 714-667-8800.
