Description
What is the plan with a huge curb being added on Webb Bridge that juts out from the curb about a foot? This comes out of nowhere from a wider section of road. Vehicles are going to hit it repeatedly; possibly lose control and at a high activity recreation area. What happens to cyclists? Where is the shoulder? I can't imagine a concrete curb is only temporary. Was there an engineering error? This is an extremely poor design.

What you are seeing is the very first segment of Phase 1 of the Webb Bridge Corridor Improvement Project. The entirety of Phase 1 stretches from Big Creek eastward to the intersection with Webb Bridge Way and includes the construction of a roundabout at that intersection. The general cross-section or profile of the roadway upon completion can be seen in the attached image.
As noted in the illustration, the roadway will feature curbs and gutters, which is what you are referencing in your comment. The curb is currently higher than it will be upon completion of the roadway because it is designed to accommodate the layers of asphalt that will be applied when the road is repaved. When that occurs, the curb will be at standard height.
