State Route 37 Flood Reduction Project

State Route 37 Flood Reduction Project

The Project proposes a causeway that would be 35 feet in elevation (North American Vertical Datum of 1988 [NAVD 88]) and consist of four 12-foot-wide lanes, a 22-footwide median with a 2-foot-wide median barrier, two 10-foot-wide inside shoulders, two 12-foot-wide outside shoulders, two 2-foot-wide outside barriers, and a barrier separated 14-foot-wide bicycle or pedestrian path with a 2-foot-wide barrier, for a total roadway width of 114 feet. There would be no change to the long-term vehicular capacity on SR 37. To maintain regional connectivity, the Project would be phased with the most flood-prone component, the Novato Creek Bridge and connecting structures, being built in Phase 1. Phase 2 would raise the rest of SR 37 within the Project area to reduce flooding and improve resiliency.
