Title

Eel River Bridge Seismic Retrofit

Description

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to partially replace and seismically retrofit the northbound U.S. 101 Eel River Bridge from post miles 53.7 - 54.2 near Rio Dell, Humboldt County, California. This bridge was identified in the Structure Replacement and Improvement Needs (STRAIN) Report as a seismically vulnerable bridge. This project will improve the structural integrity of the bridge so it can withstand a seismic event while also improving a non-standard curve at the southern approach to the bridge. The project would replace Spans 1 through 4 of the northbound Eel River Bridge with a castin-place (CIP) prestressed box girder bridge (Appendix A). The remaining Spans 5 through 8 would be seismically retrofitted. Additional work would include constructing a retaining wall to realign the northbound bridge approach.
