Caltrans To Provide Update on Plans for Stockton Channel Viaduct 3/8/24
Project Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will replace the northbound and southbound Stockton Channel Viaduct Bridges (Bridge Numbers 29-0176L and 29-0176R) in the City of Stockton on Interstate 5 from post miles 26.1 to 27.6.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to ensure the long-term serviceability and structural integrity and improve the permit load rating of the Stockton Channel Viaduct Bridges (Bridge Numbers 29-0176L and 29-0176R) on Interstate 5 in San Joaquin County.
Need
The project is needed because of structural deficiencies and continued bridge repairs. The bridges show concrete and steel superstructure/foundation deficiencies. The deficiencies include a long-standing issue of concrete deck deterioration resulting in ongoing maintenance challenges, freckled rust forming at various locations throughout the superstructure steel elements, damaged steel bracing, and cracking in the concrete retaining walls, bents, and columns. Substructure deficiencies, such as soil liquefaction potentially caused by seismic activity, are also prevalent. Additionally, the current structures are not rated to accommodate permit loading, which is required for goods movement.

Project Timeline
-
March 2018
Programming
The project was programmed in the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) with funding for the Environmental and Design phases.
-
April 2021
Environmental Document (IS/EA) Approval
The subsequent IS/MND and EA/FONSI were initially proposed because the exact location of the preferred alternative was still pending. Once the project development team finalized the location, additional technical evaluations were completed, and our existing determinations were revalidated. Therefore, Caltrans will issue an addendum in Spring 2025 rather than a subsequent environmental document.
-
June 2021
Project Approval - Bridge Replacement
After studying the following alternatives: 1) Deck Rehabilitation, 2) Superstructure Replacement and 3) Complete bridge replacement, alternative 3, bridge replacement was selected and approved June 2021
-
October 2021
Design Begins
Design funds were allocated and the design phase commenced.
-
July 2022
Delivery Method Selected
After evaluating the project challenges such as traffic handling, construction methods, limited in-channel work window, the project delivery team determined that the project is a good candidate for Construction Manager General Contractor (CMGC) delivery.
-
February 2023
CMGC Selected (KIEWIT)
The project was advertised for pre-construction services with a rigerous list of qualifications and expertise, proposals were evaluated and a CMGC was selected.
-
July 2023
Bridge-Type Was Selected
As a preliminary step to moving the design forward, the Caltrans team and CMGC evaluated the different bridge types considered and segmental cast-in-place concrete bridge type was selected.
-
Spring 2025
Subsequent Environmental Document Planned
Based on some of the design options, a subsequent environmental document will be presented in May 2025.
