Document Description
Caltrans is planning a bridge widening project in Del Norte County, north of Crescent City, at post mile 45.3 approximately 1.3 miles south of the Oregon State line and 0.8 miles from the USDA inspection station. This project to widen the existing bridge and upgrade the bridge rails is necessary to meet current design standards. In addition, widening shoulders to 2.4 m will improve safety for motorists and bicyclists since the present bridge shoulders are less then 0.3 m. The proposed scope of work also includes removing a portion of the existing retaining walls and footings, addition of infill walls and footings between the columns, adding support piles and footings and walls at both abutments, construction of a small retaining wall along an existing cut slope near the southwest end of the structure, and relocation of existing utilities within the transportation right of way.
