Stockton – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will hold its next update meeting for the Interstate 5 Stockton Channel Viaduct Project at The Haggin Museum (1201 North Pershing Avenue) in Stockton on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Topics to be covered will include; the current status of the project, progress and accomplishments to date, updated timeline for start of construction, plans for traffic mitigation at Interstate 5/Pershing Avenue, and the opportunity to review and help select the official project logo to be used in future communications and community outreach. Caltrans’ project managers and subject matter experts will be available to address questions from those in attendance.
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.
For those interested in the project but not able to attend, project information can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/caltrans-near-me/district-10/district-10-current-projects/10-0x460. Questions regarding the project may be sent to: district10publicaffairs@dot.ca.gov
