Panoche Road Bridge (No. 43C0027) Replacement at Tres Pinos Creek San Benito County, California 05-SBT-0-CR Federal Project No. BRLO-5943 (056)

The San Benito County Department of Public Works proposes to replace the existing two-lane Panoche Road Bridge (bridge), Bridge No. 43C-0027, over the Tres Pinos Creek in San Benito County, California (proposed project) (see Figure 2-3: Project Design). The new bridge would be constructed south of the existing bridge. The roadway approach from the east would be realigned to allow construction of the new bridge in one stage while maintaining traffic flow on the existing bridge during construction. Additionally, shifting the alignment of the eastern roadway approach would improve roadway geometry by eliminating the slight “S” curve over the existing bridge. Upon completion of the new bridge, the existing bridge would be demolished. The proposed project would also widen the roadway approaches on the east and west ends of the bridge to conform to the new bridge width and profile. After construction, both the bridge and roadway approaches would contain two 12-foot (ft) lanes (one in each direction) and two 4 ft shoulders and would meet current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) minimum design speed standards.
