CAL AMA 49 Mokelumne River Bridge Upgrade Project

PROJECT FACTS

Description: The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to upgrade the Mokelumne River Bridge (Bridge Number 26-0012) on State Route 49 in Amador and Calaveras counties by replacing the non-standard bridge rails with new rails that meet current standards and widening the shoulders to 4 feet on both sides of the traveled way to enhance the mobility of pedestrians and bicyclists.

Need & Purpose: There is a need to upgrade the non-standard concrete baluster bridge rails and the existing shoulder width on the bridge because it does not meet the needs of bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The purpose of this project is to upgrade the bridge rails to meet current crash safety standards and widen the bridge to enhance the mobility of pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

The project is fully funded by the State Highway Operation and Protection Program. The estimated construction capital cost is $4.3 million.
