Calaveras County Bridge Replacement
Project Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to replace the North Fork Calaveras River Bridge on an alternate alignment along State Route 12 in Calaveras County. The current bridge has above-average collision rates and nonstandard bridge railings, width, super elevation, and horizontal alignment. The proposed replacement bridge would have two 12-foot lanes, two 8-foot shoulders, and new bridge railings to meet current standards. The project would also involve roadway realignment next to the north side of the existing bridge and would correct the existing nonstandard horizontal roadway alignment at the west and east ends of the structure.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to provide the traveling public with an up-to-standard crossing over the North Fork Calaveras River on State Route 12 in Calaveras County.
Need
The project is needed because the North Fork Calaveras River Bridge has been identified by the Caltrans Office of Structures Maintenance and Investigations as having exceeded its design life expectancy and not meeting current standards.
