Title

Gifford Creek Curve Correction

Description

The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, to the Project applicant. Caltrans proposes to remove Bridge 49-0142 over Gifford Creek and replace it with a new bridge on the new road alignment. The new bridge will be 43 feet 10 inches wide with an 84 foot long span over Gifford Creek. No piers would be required in the creek bed. Rock Slope Protection would be added near the abutments to prevent erosion. No water diversion or dewatering is expected. The bridge will be built using a spread footing, rather than pile-driving. The existing bridge would be removed after construction is completed. Construction equipment will need to enter the jurisdictional drainages. However, no construction equipment is allowed to work in flowing water. The Project will permanently impact 0.15 acres and temporarily impact 0.36 acres of riparian habitat. The Project will not require the removal of any riparian trees.
