The purpose of the project is to provide a bridge across the Albion River that meets modern seismic safety standards, provides safe and reliable multimodal access, and minimizes ongoing maintenance costs.
Caltrans proposes to replace the existing Eel River Bridge (Caltrans Bridge #10-0236) on State Route 162.
The project proposes to reconstruct existing sidewalks within the City of Fort Bragg in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and construct new sidewalks on the east side of State Route 1 from the State Route 20 intersection to Boatyard Drive. Additional new sidewalk construction will occur from Ocean View Drive to the south end of the Noyo River Bridge, from Noyo Point Road to Cypress Street, and from Spruce Street to Elm Street. Additional improvements include drainage, road striping and signal button upgrades.
Caltrans proposes the Garcia Bridge Scour Project on State Route 1 at Post Mile 18.5 in Mendocino County. The project proposes to rehabilitate scour occurring 3 of 5 piers and 1 abutment by placing stabilizing rock around the structures. The bridge’s metal components would be spot blasted to remove rust and entirely repainted.

Caltrans, in partnership with the Mendocino Council of Governments, proposes an enhancement project on State Route 1 through downtown Gualala (post miles 0.6 to 1.0). The current design of the downtown area of Gualala has several deficiencies that could increase conflicts between motorized users, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Caltrans proposes to construct improvements on U.S. Highway 101 in downtown Hopland (post miles 10.8 and 11.2) for compliance with the Americans for Disabilities Act. Work would include improving curb ramps, sidewalks, and driveways, reconstructing the roadway, rehabilitating pavement, upgrading drainage systems, signage, and Transportation Management Systems facilities.
Caltrans proposes to replace two highway culverts with full-span bridges along State Route 1 in Mendocino County just north of Anchor Bay and at Tregoning Drive near Fort Bragg. The purpose of the project is to remove fish passage barriers and will include constructing full-span bridges with wider shoulders and guardrails, removing existing box culverts, making storm drainage culvert improvements and grading drainage banks and channels to enhance fish passage habitat.
Caltrans proposes to construct improvements on State Route 1 in Point Arena, Mendocino County from post miles 14.7 to 33.9. Work includes pavement rehabilitation and replacement of sidewalks, curb ramps and guardrails.
Caltrans proposes to replace the Salmon Creek Bridge on Route 1. The current bridge, built in 1950, has a concrete deck over steel beams. The bridge is functionally obsolete because it is narrow and does not meet current standards for shoulders and guardrails.
