California Aqueduct Bridge Rehabilitation and Seismic Retrofit

proposed

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to rehabilitate and retrofit California Aqueduct Bridge Number 50-0323 on State Route 166. The project is in Kern County east of Maricopa, 2.6 miles east of Old River Road and 5 miles west of Interstate 5. There is one build alternative—Alternative 1A—and a no-build alternative. Under the build alternative, the existing structure would be left in place, and extra support would be added to the bridge where the structure is currently sagging and cracking. The project would also update the bridge rail to current standards, replace existing bridge dikes, and rehabilitate the existing pavement.
