Document Description
The proposed project involves installation of a temporary bailey bridge to facilitate emergency equipment access at the Geyserville Bridge site in Sonoma County at Route 128. The previous bridge crossed the Russian River east of Geyserville on a 1932 steel pony truss bridge, 973.5' long, and was the only crossing of the river between Lytton Station Road/Alexander Valley Road, in Healdsburg, and Crocker Road, in Cloverdale. Pier 6 was damaged by floodwaters during the New Years Eve/Day storm of 2005/2006 causing the bridge closure. Currently, Caltrans is constructing a new bridge crossing at the site; however, all vehicular access has been prohibited. The County of Sonoma is concerned about the lack of access across the River for emergency vehicle use in case of fire or medical emergency. The alternative route can take an additional 20 minutes of travel. The Department of Fish and Game is issuing a Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2006-0343-3 is pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602.
