The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to replace the existing Greenwood Creek Bridge with a new two–lane bridge with two 12-foot lanes, 6-foot shoulders, and a 5-foot pedestrian walkway on the west side. The existing Greenwood Creek Bridge is located on Route 1 in Mendocino County, approximately half a mile south of the town of Elk.

August 28, 2009 - Caltrans invites the public to review two bridge rail options proposed for the Greenwood Creek Bridge Replacement project, located on Route 1 in Mendocino County, near the town of Elk. The two rail options, ST-10 and Type 80 (see examples below), were recently presented to the California Coastal Commission's (CCC) Road Edge Subcommittee (RES). The RES preferred the ST-10 bridge rail with a green painted finish, and they will present their preferred option to the CCC at a future meeting.

The two bridge rail options are available below for review. Please direct questions and comments regarding this project to Steven Blair, Project Manager, at 707-441-5899, or Steven_Blair@dot.ca.gov.
