SAND CREEK ROAD EXTENSION RIBBON CUTTING

BRENTWOOD, CA – The City of Brentwood is excited to announce the upcoming Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Sand Creek Road Extension, set for Tuesday, January 28, 2025 in anticipation of the road being open to the public in the coming weeks. This milestone project marks a major step forward in enhancing connectivity, reducing traffic congestion, and fostering economic growth at the Brentwood Innovation Center and the region overall. Due to limited parking at the event site and the road not being open to the public at this time, the ceremony will be an invitation-only event.

The Sand Creek Road Extension, an approximate $13 million infrastructure investment, expands Sand Creek Road westward from Highway 4 to Heidorn Ranch Road. This essential addition will provide a southern access to the City’s Innovation Center—home to a future 100+ acre Business Park and Town Center and the highly anticipated Costco on Heidorn Ranch Road near Lone Tree Plaza Drive. By easing traffic on key routes such as Lone Tree Way, Balfour Road, and Deer Valley Road, the project aims to enhance both safety and accessibility for Brentwood, Antioch and other visitors to the area.

Mayor Susannah Meyer expressed her enthusiasm for the project’s completion, stating, “The Sand Creek Road Extension is a shining example of Brentwood’s dedication to building a thriving and connected community. This new roadway will provide residents and first responders with improved access between two major roadways - great for both convenience and safety. It’s projects like these that make Brentwood an exceptional place to live.”

City Manager Tim Ogden emphasized the long-term vision behind the extension, adding, “This is more than just a road; it’s a vital connection that will pave the way for economic growth and innovation in Brentwood. Extending Sand Creek Road from Highway 4 to Heidorn Ranch Road has been a strategic effort to alleviate traffic on Lone Tree Way and support new opportunities within the Innovation Center. Costco’s arrival marks just the beginning of exciting opportunities ahead for our community.”

With this new extension, residents will benefit from reduced travel times and strengthened economic and community development. The City of Brentwood looks forward to celebrating this achievement with the community and continuing to prioritize projects that enhance quality of life.

The new roadway is anticipated to open to the public within the next week or two once the traffic signals controlled by outside agencies at both ends of the project are activated to control traffic within the two expanded intersections.
