Bethel Island Bridge Replacement Project

Bethel Island Bridge Replacement Project

The Contra Costa County Public Works Department is proposing to replace the Bethel Island Bridge, located in the east Contra Costa County area. The project consists of constructing a new approximately 800-foot long, 50 foot wide bridge with two 12-foot lanes, a 12 foot left turn land at the south end, two 5-foot sidewalks, barrier railings and a pedestrian staircase Based on the increased length of the bridge, the project also includes construction a raised access road between the bridge approach and the levee on the south side for general and emergency access. The extended length of the bridge will also require construction of a wall varying in height from 2 to 25 feet for roughly 450 linear feet along the southwest corner of the project site.
