Document Description
The Project would include replacement of the existing structurally and functionally deficient bridge with a new 1,238-foot long, 8-span arched concrete box girder bridge. The replacement bridge would be 79 feet wide with two lanes of traffic in each direction. The bridge would accommodate a 5-foot-wide Class II Bike Lane in each direction. A separated pedestrian walkway along both sides would range in size, with the shared pathway on the west side approximately 10 feet wide. Pedestrian railings would be provided on both sides of the entire length of the bridge and the vista points on the bridge would provide overlooks to the park. The bridge profile would be raised to meet the current hydraulic design requirements. Utility improvement work for the Project would include relocation of existing overhead and underground utilities and a new City of Modesto water line installation. The installation of the new water line beyond the bridge limits would likely occur concurrently with the other roadway improvements.
The Project will result in impacts to 4.9 acres of Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) habitat including temporary impacts to 4.78 acres; the Project will permanently remove 0.12 acres of Swainson’s hawk habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of Swainson’s hawk, which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
