San Luis Bay Drive Bridge Replacement Project; ED00-570/P12A702

San Luis Obispo County proposes to replace the existing San Luis Bay Drive Bridge near the community of Avila Beach. The project is scheduled to begin summer/fall of 2005 or 2006, and would proceed in four general phases; 1) diversion and dewatering of San Luis Obispo Creek; 2) demolition of existing bridge structure, and preparation of project site; 3) construction of new bridge structure, and; 4) site restoration. Other project components include rerouting the existing at-grade Bob Jones Bike Path crossing beneath the new bridge near the northern abutment; construction of a temporary creek bed access road; roadway widening on both Avila Beach road and San Luis Bay Drive; signalization of the intersection of Avila Beach Road and San Luis Bay Drive; construction of four retaining walls; and excavation within the creek channel near the northern bridge abutment to increase hydraulic capacity (flood flow conveyance). The total area of permanent disturbance will be approximately 15,000 square feet with an additional temporary impact of approximately 20,000 square feet.
