Caltrans invites you to participate in a virtual meeting for the proposed Albion River Bridge Project on Thursday, September 26 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Meeting information and link will be posted on the project website: Albionriverbridgeproject.com.
Based on public comments expressing interest in rehabilitating the existing bridge, staff will present information related to the rehabilitation alternatives that were considered but eliminated from further consideration in the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement.
Caltrans is considering three build alternatives and a no-build alternative in the Draft EIR/EIS. The project is needed to address functional, safety, and structural deficiencies associated with the existing wood truss bridge. Correcting these deficiencies would improve safety for all users, reduce the chance of catastrophic bridge failure and minimize ongoing maintenance costs.
Public review of the document is available at albionriverbridgeproject.com and at the Caltrans District 1 Office at 1656 Union Street in Eureka on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., as well as at the Mendocino Community Library at 10591 William Street in Mendocino and at the Fort Bragg Branch of the Mendocino County Library at 499 East Laurel Street in Fort Bragg. Comments on this document are accepted by mail or email [email protected] until October 9, 2024.

Yet another unnecessary make work project by caltrans to keep their inflated budget. Tie all promotions/retirement to projects cancelled and budgets reduced.
Ya, why would you fix it before cars and trucks fall to their death?
These concrete arched bridges are very cool, and some of them were designed and named for Harlan D. MIller, a State Bridge Engineer, who was a brother of Dayton C. Miller, a Physicist of note from Case University, and Dewey Miller, who was my Great-Grandfather.
Many of them are no longer in use, but were state of the art in their time.
Enjoy!
