FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sacramento County — The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is scheduled to close northbound and southbound State Route 160 from Three Mile Slough Bridge to Brannon Island State Park for bridge work.

The complete bridge closures are scheduled from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25.

A contractor is scheduled to install reinforcement members on the lift span to complete prep work for refurbishing and replacing mechanical parts. The work is necessary for the replacement of the sheave bearings and to machine the trunnion in both towers. The bridge remains safe for travel; however, current truck restrictions are enforced.

California legal trucks having a kingpin-to-rear-axle of more than 30 feet are not recommended on SR-160.

Caltrans urges motorists to plan accordingly and to expect delays.

Suggested alternate routes:

•   For detours involving Sacramento County origins/destinations, motorists may consider using Interstate 5.

•   For other detours, motorists may consider using State Routes 4, 12, and 160 along with segments of Interstates 80 and 680.

Caltrans advices motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert” – someone’s loved one is at work.

Work is scheduled to begin as listed but subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/ or materials, and construction related issues.
