Three Mile Slough Bridge Scheduled for Overnight Closures
Inspections and Testing Beginning Next Week
SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Caltrans is alerting motorists that the Three Mile Slough Bridge on State Route 160 is scheduled for nightly closures next week for inspections. The bridge remains safe during daytime travel.
A Caltrans contractor and structural engineers will be conducting inspections and testing of the main sheave trunnions.
The bridge will be under nightly closure from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. January 13 - 17.
Caltrans urges motorists to plan accordingly and use suggested detours. Current truck restrictions will apply.
During the nighttime highway closure, Caltrans suggests these alternate routes:
• For detours involving Sacramento County origins/destinations, motorists may consider using Interstate 5.
• For other detours, motorists may consider using State Routes 12, 4, and 160 along with segments of Interstates 80 and 680.
California legal trucks having a kingpin-to-rear-axle of more than 30 feet are not recommended on State Route 160.
Weather conditions could delay or cancel scheduled work. Caltrans advises motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert.”
