Title

Pioneer Bluff Bridge

Description

Construction of a bridge connecting the existing two-lane South River Road on the north side of the barge canal to the South River Road on the south side of the barge canal. The project will provide a necessary alternative to north-south traffic and relieve congestion of Jefferson Boulevard. The bridge will include one 12-foot lane in each direction , one future 12-foot lane in each direction, a 2-foot raised median, shoulders, and two 6-foot walkways separated from traffic by a concrete barrier. The Project will result in impacts to 0.01 acres of aquatic habitat. The project is expected to result in incidental take of longfin smelt (Spirinchus Thaleichthys), and Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon (Onocorhynchus tshawytscha), which are designated as a threatened; as well as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon (Onocorhynchus tshawytscha), which are designated as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). 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.
