On Friday, California's transportation commission is voting on awarding Sacramento $25 million more towards building a new I Street bridge.
"It's very narrow, and if you're trying to get anything more than a compact car across that thing, it feels pretty tight," said City Councilmember Phil Pluckenaum.
A replacement bridge has been in the works for decades but has been on hold due to funding gaps.
Pluckebaum said that starting construction soon is crucial to getting the bridge built.
The City of Sacramento said the state has now committed $275 million to the project, which will also use local and federal funding.
"This is fundamental for our community, for West Sacramento and Sacramento to be able to remain connected," Pluckebaum said.
The existing bridge won't be torn down. It will continue to be used for train traffic on the lower deck and a bike and pedestrian crossing on top.
