Description:

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to seismically retrofit seven bridges in Merced County to increase their structural integrity in case of a seismic event and upgrade deficient bridge railings to current standards.

The project would seismically retrofit seven bridges on State Routes 59, 140, and 152in Merced County to increase their structural integrity by doing the following:

  • Adding steel column casings
  • Retrofitting hinges with pipe seat extenders and cable restrainers

The work would bring the bridges up to current standards and minimize the risk of collapse during a seismic event. The project would also upgrade the non-standard bridge railings. In addition, 8-foot shoulders would be added on the Los Banos Creek/West Branch Mud Slough bridge (Bridge Number 039-0090); the bridge currently has no shoulders and does not match the approaching oadway, which has 8-foot shoulders.
