Title

South Eel River Bridge Seismic Project

Description

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is proposing a seismic project to provide State Route 162 Postmile 8.2 with an earthquake-resistant bridge structure capable of resisting a maximum credible earthquake. Three alternatives are in consideration for the South Eel River Bridge Project. • Alternative A would perform retrofit work to improve the structural integrity and make this bridge capable of resisting a maximum credible earthquake. One-way traffic control would be in place during construction. • Alternative B would consist of a staged replacement of the existing structure in which the bridge would be reduced to one lane. One-way traffic control would be in place during construction. • Alternative C would replace the existing bridge with a new one to the south of the existing bridge. Little to no traffic control would occur.
