Albion River Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation Project

The Project

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has initiated an Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR / EIS) for the proposed Albion River Bridge Project in Mendocino County in California. The Project is located on State Route 1 from post mile 43.3 to 44.2.

The purpose of the project is to provide a bridge across the Albion River that meets modern seismic safety standards, provides safe and reliable multimodal access, and minimizes ongoing maintenance costs. The project objectives are as follows:

Eliminate structural and seismic deficiencies of the bridge
Eliminate fracture critical condition of the truss main span
Provide shoulder widths consistent with local coastal plan requirements
Provide improved road alignment and sight distance
Provide safe multimodal access for bicyclists and pedestrians across the bridge
Minimize ongoing maintenance costs
Minimize traffic delays associated with bridge inspection, maintenance, and repairs
Improve resilience to sea level rise, storm surges, and tsunamis
Prevent further preservative treatment leaching from existing bridge timbers
Minimize construction-related impacts to the community and environment.
