Caltrans Seeks Survey Participation From The Public To Help Choose Aesthetic Design Theme For I-5 Stockton Channel Viaduct Project

Caltrans Seeks Survey Participation From The Public To Help Choose Aesthetic Design Theme For I-5 Stockton Channel Viaduct Project Survey Open Until October 8, 2025

Stockton – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is seeking input from the public, asking for its participation in a new survey designed to help select the aesthetic theme for the Interstate 5 Stockton Channel Viaduct Project.

In August 2024, the Stockton Channel Viaduct Project Community Aesthetics Advisory Committee was formed to provide input and recommendations to Caltrans on aesthetic elements for the project. Ten community members answered the call for volunteers to help form this committee. Caltrans’ goal was to solicit recommendations from members of the community at large to provide multiple perspectives to inform the aesthetic design of the project, while also identifying potential design elements that implement local identity.

The committee has since narrowed down the themes to three options and Caltrans is now asking the public to help choose an aesthetic theme for the Stockton Channel Viaduct Project!

Beginning July 8, through October 8, 2025, this survey will be available to the public by either scanning the QR Code below or visiting the following link: https://engage.dot.ca.gov/10-0x460_pse.

Caltrans encourages those interested to take a moment to vote for a favorite design theme, as feedback will help shape the look and feel of this significant project. (Please note, these conceptual drawings are subject to change due to feasibility, policies, and/or budget constraints.)

Project Background

The Stockton Channel Viaduct Project proposes to replace the northbound and southbound Stockton Channel Viaduct Bridges on Interstate 5 to ensure the long-term serviceability, structural integrity and improve the permit load rating for commercial vehicles and the movement of goods.

The project is needed because of structural deficiencies and continued bridge repairs. The bridges show concrete and steel superstructure/foundation deficiencies, including a long-standing issue of concrete deck deterioration resulting in ongoing maintenance challenges.

Questions regarding the project may be sent to: district10publicaffairs@dot.ca.gov.
