Title

Cosumnes River Pedestrian Bridge at Rancho Murieta

Description

The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2005-0042-R2 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Randy Jenco, Viking Construction Company. The project, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge, is a three span, 410' long by 12' wide, treated timber truss structure supported on circular concrete piers and concrete "seat type" abutments. The substructure construction will require the excavation of surface bedrock for the spread footings on the north river bank. The south abutment will require driven steel piles. Rock slope protection will be installed at the abutments for erosion protection during high flow events. The bridge approach pathways will be constructed to join the existing pedestrian trails o each side of the river. Consequently, since the Rancho Murieta development communities on both sides of the Cosumnes River are gated communities, there will be no general public access to the pedestrian/bicycle bridge.
